Gym Mat Drama is a creative way to tell stories when we don’t have props, space or even time to tell those stories. The name comes from the technique used in these drama plays. The idea is to use a gym mat to perform the story. Everything happens there, in that space. We use our own bodies as props. Our bodies can be from a chair to a mountain. It can be one body or the combination of all actors’ bodies. 

 

In this section you can watch the teacher training version of Goldilocks and the three bears using this technique.
