Learn From Drama Educators Who Have Done It Before

Sonja Lestar Actress · Drama pedagogue · Applied theatre facilitator

Sonja has worked with children, youth and adults since 2004, leading drama-based learning processes, theatre workshops, participatory projects and performances in formal and informal education.

Her work combines acting, applied theatre, forum theatre, group facilitation and practical drama pedagogy. Inside the course she helps teachers understand how to lower social risk, build ensemble trust, open communication and guide participants into creative expression without forcing performance too early.

Sonja graduated in acting from the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad and holds a master's degree in applied theatre. Her teaching style is direct, practical and grounded in real rooms where confidence, attention and participation have to be built step by step.

Maja Grgic Director · Drama pedagogue · Psychodrama counsellor in training

Maja is a director and drama pedagogue with extensive experience using theatre as a practical tool for learning, communication, development and exploring contemporary social issues.

She works with children, youth and adults through creative processes that combine structure, play, reflection and group awareness. Her approach helps participants express themselves more freely, collaborate with others and become more present in the room.

Maja graduated in directing from the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad and is currently training as a psychodrama counsellor. In the course, she brings a director's eye for structure and a facilitator's sensitivity to group safety, rhythm and emotional readiness.

Testimonials

Real feedback from educators and facilitators using the course to bring quieter groups into stronger participation.

Rada's key takeaway: the course gives a structure she can actually use, not just a collection of activities. The point is practical change in group energy and participation.

Christian's key takeaway: the activities feel practical, not theoretical. A clear activity library beats searching random ideas online when you need something for a real group.

Sonja explains: how the 5+1 system works with real groups, and how to choose a game by what the room needs next instead of guessing.

Sarah Mitchell

She had tried icebreakers before, but this felt different because the system builds safety before asking students to put themselves out there. By week 3, students who had been silent were speaking up.

High school English teacher, Illinois

James T.

His university seminars used to rely on the same few voices while the rest stayed silent. Four weeks later, the seminars felt unrecognizable because more people were actually participating.

Lecturer, University of Leeds

Maria Kovacs

She worried the course would require drama experience or an outgoing personality. Instead, the exercises were designed for teachers, and her B2 English group started running the room.

Language teacher, Budapest

Rachel Benson

The biggest reframe for her was that low participation is often a safety issue, not disengagement. The course gave her a clearer way to bring the quieter 70% into the room.

Freelance workshop facilitator

Tom Calloway

He expected a school-focused course, but found the same group dynamics in corporate workshops: dominant voices, quiet corners and awkward silences. The system translated directly.

Corporate trainer, Manchester

Lisa Prentice

Her 7th graders were present but not really there. After three weeks, she no longer felt like she was carrying the room alone because the students began to carry more of the energy.

Three Drama Games You Can Use With Quiet Groups This Week

These are the exact sample exercises from the course page. Each one gives participants a safer way into trust, communication or focus before you ask for bigger participation.

Phase 1 · Safety & Connection

If You Knew Me Better

Participants work in pairs and complete the sentence: "If you knew me better, you would know that..." The exercise creates a low-pressure path toward trust, openness and deeper group connection.

Use it when the group is guarded, polite, shy or still working as separate individuals. It helps participants share something real without putting them on stage.

PairsCalm energyTrust building

Phase 2 · Communication & Listening

Yes - No

One participant repeats "yes" while the other repeats "no." As the exchange continues, tone, rhythm, emotion and intention begin to change, even though the words stay simple.

Use it to show how communication is shaped by listening, energy and relationship. It gives students structure before freedom, which makes expression feel safer.

PairsVoiceExpression

Phase 3 · Focus & Presence

Exchange Of Glances

The group stands in a circle while one person stays in the middle. Two participants silently agree through eye contact to switch places, while the person in the middle tries to take an empty spot.

Use it when attention is scattered or the room needs more alertness. It builds focus, nonverbal awareness and quick group response without singling anyone out.

You Don't Need Another List Of Drama Games...

You need a sequence, clear facilitation, and a way to choose the right activity for the exact moment your group is in.

"I'll show you how to build participation step by step - before you ask quiet students to perform, improvise or speak in front of the whole room."

The 222 Drama Games Formula

Instead of choosing random games, follow the order experienced facilitators use instinctively. Start by making the room safe, then build connection, communication, attention, creativity and reflection.

Safety First

Lower the social risk. Before students speak, move, improvise or perform, they need a way to enter the room without feeling exposed.

Build Connection

Move from isolated individuals to a group that notices each other. Trust makes participation feel less like a test.

Open Communication

Use pairs, rhythm, tone, gesture and listening so expression grows gradually instead of being demanded all at once.

Sharpen Focus

Bring attention back into the room. Focus games help scattered groups become present, alert and ready to work together.

Unlock Creativity

Only after the group has enough safety and focus do you ask for invention, improvisation and bigger creative choices.

Reset Energy

The bonus phase gives you openings, closings and energy resets so sessions begin clearly, shift when needed and end with intention.
