I find it hard to practice expressing myself, and the results of my attempts are often not good, and I will embarrass myself in front of others, which makes me even more reluctant to practice... **Therefore, if we want to practice expressing ourselves, we need a safe environment where we are not afraid of failure.** The drama expression course will create a relaxed and interesting learning environment through drama workshops, allowing students to explore their own expressions. There are no standard answers in the course, but rather finding ways for others to understand you. When you understand better what kind of expression you are good at, you will be able to face various different expression situations! Practice interacting confidently with others. **Find the key to express yourself freely, and confidence will come naturally!** **—There is no fixed formula for expression. Find the key to express yourself freely, let others truly "understand you", and share with confidence.** https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/%E6%88%B2%E5%8A%87%E8%A1%A8%E9%81%94-%E5%B7%A5%E4%BD%9C%E5%9D%8A_compressed.jpg __**Features of Drama Expression Course**__ 1.

Being familiar with your external texture and the impact of different ways of expression will be the focus of the basic class. When you express yourself, the other person not only receives what you say, but also messages other than words. If you are not aware of these factors that affect expression, you have already planted the seeds of failure in expression before you even open your mouth. This course starts with "silent" practice, because many times, the problem is not what you say, but how you say it. https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/%E6%88%B2%E5%8A%87%E8%A1%A8%E9%81%94%E7%AB%A0%E7%AF%80%E5%9C%961_comp.jpg **Lesson 1: The impact of body expression** **Drama practice: Mirror synchronization, body speaks** Through physical activities, we can become aware of undiscovered inertia, consciously control our limbs, explore possibilities that are different from our habits, and let our limbs become a tool for expression. Psychologist Mehrabian once proposed a study that communication contains three key elements: the content of speech, tone of voice, and non-verbal behavior. Effective communication requires the consistency of these three elements. If these three elements are inconsistent, the influence of non-verbal behavior and tone of voice will be highlighted; at this time, 55% of your expression comes from non-verbal behavior, 38% comes from tone of voice, and only 7% comes from the content of your speech. Therefore, the first step in learning to express ourselves is to start by exploring "body language". Through drama training of body movements, we can become aware of our own habits that we have never discovered, including facial expressions, gestures, postures, etc., and learn to consciously control them. Make sure the message conveyed by your body language is consistent with your thoughts so that your expression can be clear and to the point. Course content: 1. Break through the inertia of body language and make body language expression unrestricted 2. Be aware of how external stimuli affect your facial expressions and postures, and be familiar with your body language habits that often lead to you being misunderstood 3. Learn to consciously control facial expressions and postures to express effectively 4. Be familiar with the body language of different parts of the body, so that you have more comfortable options for expression. https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/%E6%88%B2%E5%8A%87%E8%A1%A8%E9%81%94%E7%AB%A0%E7%AF%80%E5%9C%962_comp.jpg **Lesson 2: Using body language to express feelings** **Drama Practice: Trajectory of the Body** Through the basic experience of dance, practice connecting inner feelings with the body. The teacher will guide you to become familiar with the postures of your body, get close to your inner feelings, and see the self you like. Dance and music are the most liberating ways to liberate a person's body. Melody can trigger the flow of our inner emotions and make the body dance naturally. In this process, let your feelings guide you and explore the possibilities of your body! When it comes to dancing, many people's first reaction may be: "My body is not coordinated." However, the body should be the part we are most familiar with, but at this time the first thing that comes to mind is doubt about our own body and then lack of confidence. This is very similar to the dilemma we encounter in expressing ourselves. Because we are not familiar with how we express ourselves, we lack confidence and feel uncomfortable. The purpose of this class is not to make you become a professional dancer, but to let go of language and words, return to your truest inner feelings, overcome your doubts about yourself, let your body expression be close to your heart, and then like yourself. Course content: 1. Feel your body in the music 2. Body extension and rhythm: Practice body control and expansion and contraction, and change with the melody 3. Try to express your inner feelings by dancing https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/%E6%88%B2%E5%8A%87%E8%A1%A8%E9%81%94%E7%AB%A0%E7%AF%80%E5%9C%963_comp.jpg **Lesson 3: Tone, Melody and Words** **Drama Practice: Expression Etude** Start with your favorite songs, practice expressing emotions through melody and lyrics, explore your own voice tone, and find a way of expression that is comfortable for you. Philosopher Rousseau once said: "Music is the equivalent of emotional tone in human language." When listening to music, we can feel all kinds of emotions. For example, when listening to sad songs, we will feel sad inside. When singing, the tone will become lower, even with a whimpering feeling. These changes in melody, timbre, emphasis, singing tone and rhythm let us clearly know the ideas and feelings that the song wants to convey. Therefore, we will practice the key to expression through music, be aware of the tone, intonation and rhythm of our own speech, what kind of messages and feelings we convey to others; and understand the changes in sound, and how to increase the richness and strength of expression. Course content: 1. Understand the quality of your voice and how it affects others 2. Use different sound textures to express your inner thoughts 3. Learn the rhythm and tone of speaking to highlight key points and appeal 4. Hear your own voice and find a comfortable way to express yourself https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/%E6%88%B2%E5%8A%87%E8%A1%A8%E9%81%94%E7%AB%A0%E7%AF%80%E5%9C%964_comp.jpg **The fourth lesson: Reality show** **Drama Practice: Starting from the Story** Go back to your own experience, talk about yourself, and practice expressing your thoughts and feelings through the learned expressions so that others can understand them clearly. By the fourth class, I believe that you will be able to understand your inner thoughts and feelings more delicately, and practice expressing your thoughts and feelings through the learned expression methods so that others can understand them clearly. Go back to your own experience and talk about yourself. It will be easier to practice expression from familiar experiences. If you know how to overcome the nervousness of expressing yourself on stage, you will be more comfortable in expressing yourself in interactions with others! In this class, Teacher Ash will teach you how to grasp the key points so that you can express yourself easily. He will also give you suggestions one by one so that students can see their own progress and advantages in expression. Course content: 1. Practice storytelling to overcome the fear of speaking on stage 2. How to grasp the key points of expression when sharing 3. Use facial expressions, gestures, and voice to let the other person know what you are feeling. 4. In actual practice, see your own strengths, and then be confident and enjoy expressing yourself. https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/%E6%88%B2%E5%8A%87%E8%A1%A8%E9%81%94%E8%AA%B2%E7%A8%8B%E4%B8%BB%E9%A1%8C2_comp.jpg **■ Advanced Class Content Description:** Through the interpretation of the plot and lines, learn the expression methods and key points and key points of different personalities, further find the expression mode that suits your own personality, and comprehensively improve your expression ability. Depending on the situation and the object, quickly finding the positioning point of expression not only makes the expression clearer and more accurate, but also can show personality traits, make the expression more weighty, and enable the other party to more completely receive your thoughts and intentions. https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/%E6%88%B2%E5%8A%87%E8%A1%A8%E9%81%94%E7%AB%A0%E7%AF%80%E5%9C%965_comp.jpg **Lesson 1: Attractive self-introduction** **Drama Practice: Self-Interpretation** Self-introduction is a very distinctive topic. How you introduce yourself determines your attitude and appearance. Some people may say, "It's really embarrassing to introduce myself again!" That's right! This course is designed to help you break through this mood, so that you can express your uniqueness and impress the audience. "Body language", "pitch of voice", "speed of rhythm" and "speaking habits" are all issues that need to be faced, and more importantly, "how to eliminate tension". When there is no way to deal with nervousness, the inner fear will erode the confidence in expression and even make it difficult to speak clearly. In this class, Teacher Ash will help you overcome your fear of expressing yourself. Course content: 1. Reinvent your self-introduction 2. Break through inner barriers: Understand the reasons why you feel shy, nervous, or afraid when expressing yourself 3. Practice introducing yourself in different ways 4. Practice listening and giving feedback. Feedback is a good subject for practicing expression. https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/%E6%88%B2%E5%8A%87%E8%A1%A8%E9%81%94%E7%AB%A0%E7%AF%80%E5%9C%966_comp.jpg **Lesson 2: Understanding Emotional Tension Sentences** **Drama practice: expressing emotions and tension in a single sentence** Human emotions are very delicate and rich. We have all kinds of positive emotions: happiness, pride, joy, joy, relaxation, etc. However, there is often not much difference in our tone and body language, and others may perceive it as "you seem to be in a good mood." Some people may ask, "Is it necessary to be so particular?" However, if we change it to negative emotions (anger, sadness, loss, grievance, inequality), everyone may be able to better understand the importance of differentiation. At this time, we often need to be understood and even comforted. However, if the other party cannot distinguish our emotions and respond in an appropriate way, it is very easy to trigger disputes and even cause harm when our emotions are prone to collapse and our inner space is very small. In addition, the topic of expression that is closely related to emotions is emotional expression. Allowing the other person to feel loved and present in your expression is the key to a closer relationship between the two of you. But it is difficult for us to express our emotions. It is not because we don’t want to, but because we don’t know how to do it. Therefore, through this class, we need to learn about the topic of expressing emotions and feelings so that we can truly express our deepest thoughts. Course content: 1. Practice expressing different emotional tensions 2. Practice and give feedback in groups to see the difference in expression 3. Learn to draw feelings from life experience to enrich your expression 4. Understand the emotional logic in expression and fully express your thoughts and emotions https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/%E6%88%B2%E5%8A%87%E8%A1%A8%E9%81%94%E7%AB%A0%E7%AF%80%E5%9C%967_comp.jpg **Lesson 3: Exploration of the interpretation of personality traits** **Drama Practice: Situational Improvisation** To make your expression have a greater impact, it comes from your personality traits. Behind personality traits lie the values and beliefs that a person values. When we consciously express and carry out our beliefs, we will demonstrate greater power. American psychologist William. William James once said: "Thoughts determine actions, actions determine habits, habits determine character, and character determines destiny." Therefore, we need to go back to how our thoughts affect our expression of actions. Only with the correct positioning can we shape the personality traits we want, and then make our expression closer to the person we want to be. In this class, you will learn the expression and texture of different personality traits from the interpretation of roles with different characteristics, understand and experience the perspectives and feelings of different personality traits on things, and find the most suitable expression method for the personality trait you believe in. Course content: 1. Demonstrate different ways of expressing different traits, such as cheerfulness, enthusiasm, happiness, generosity, gentleness, reliability, etc. 2. By analyzing the character's mental journey, you can better understand others and know how to give appropriate responses 3. Through the drama roles, practice thinking, connecting, and sensing in a way that is different from your own, and expand your expression materials 4. After experiencing "Situational Improvisation", you will see your favorite personality traits and expression texture again https://www.dace.com.tw/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/%E6%88%B2%E5%8A%87%E8%A1%A8%E9%81%94%E7%AB%A0%E7%AF%80%E5%9C%968_comp.jpg **Lesson 4: Confident Expression: The Final Test of the Course** **Drama Practice: Stage Presentation** The teacher assists students in selecting presentation topics, applying what they have learned in the course to present their own ideas, and practicing using what they have learned in the course to present complete and appropriate expressions based on the topic and content.

Not long after the class started, I knew this was what I wanted.” —Student Xiao Weiren “There are many courses and books on the market that teach people to understand themselves, and I often find them boring. However, the teacher’s lessons are the kind that I can “listen to”, which also surprised me. This course is very cool and has a strong recoil, the kind that you can keep in your mind for a long time. As long as I look through the notes I took in class, I feel like I can find some way out when I’m confused.
