The Purpose of Focus and Concentration Games

Many drama games are about being active, they are designed to get students on their feet and be physical. These types of games are usually for acting and performance needs and are intended to get actors "out of their shells". Within any performance, though, there is also a strong need for concentration. This is where the games in this Unit come in.
