莱克顿戏剧课｜舞台上的教育
戏剧，这个词会让人立刻联想到聚光灯下的大舞台、粉墨登场的演员、变化莫测的剧情。
出演一部戏剧、参与一部戏剧对于许多人来说并非易事，机会、指导老师、场地、观众，缺一不可，台上台下，近在咫尺，却无法跨越，像是两个世界。而莱克顿偏要打破这距离，我们要让每一个学生都参与戏剧、体验戏剧、都能够在戏剧中有所收获。

Drama, usually makes people think of actors playing on the stage under bright spotlight. It is not an easy case to take part in a showcase within a professional theatre environment. But in Lucton, Drama is a timetabled lesson providing the opportunity for students to develop and incorporate their own interests whilst continuing to learn new skills, and in addition to exploring both acting and directing techniques, also an understanding of the industry.
Establishing a vibrant theatrical tradition
The first attempt shows the potential
2018年，正值莱克顿创校之际，受英伦精选展会的邀请，刚刚入校的创校生们就担起了在展会上出演的重任。学生在短时间将《罗密欧与朱丽叶》改编成短篇剧本，自导自演。在那些稚嫩的脸上，能看到他们未经雕琢的戏剧天赋。

In 2018, we were delighted to be invited by ‘Best of British 2018’ to conduct a student performance in the Exhibition Centre. It was quiet rush that our founding students, as they just joined the school, played an adapted story of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ which was totally produced by themselves. You can tell the enthusiasm and potential from their first attempt.
A large cast, large scale production
2019年2月，创校的首个学期末，莱克顿人就登上了上海东方艺术中心的专业舞台，表演音乐剧《Pure Imagination》。这是莱克顿创校学生入学后，首次正式制作的戏剧表演。值得一提的是，在校的所有学生都参与了演出。绝大部分学生之前从未有过学习、参与戏剧的经验。绚丽的灯光、精致的舞美，在专业舞台上表演，是莱克顿人未来发展戏剧的宝贵经验。

In February 2019, at the end of the very first term since the School founded, Luctonians stepped onto the stage of Shanghai Oriental Art Center presenting a wonderful musical ‘Pure Imagination’. This was the first dramatic performance involving the whole school students since they joined the school, and most of them have never touched drama performing. Through the showcase within such a public professional theatre environment, students gained a valuable experience.
Producing their own full productions
2019年6月，第一学年结束之际。十年级的学生们上演了一场自创剧本、自制歌曲的校园情景剧。学生们以校园为背景，用夸张的手法，展现了在莱克顿生活的“小闹剧”。一个个调皮的小故事，用轻松、搞怪的方式表现了学生的内心世界。观众里，有家长、也有老师，面对台上那些过于真实的故事，忍俊不禁。

At the end of the first academic year in June 2019, Year 10 students presented a school play written and produced by themselves. The story was based on school life in Lucton. Students entertained the audience in an exaggerated way with their dramatic talent.
Pursuing a passion for acting
2019年的冬天，皮尔蓬特剧院里再次坐满了观众。这一次学生们带来的戏剧是——《尿都》。这是一个充斥着荒诞的黑色幽默的故事。这个离奇的故事里，充满了矛盾与挣扎，和情绪上的对抗与碰撞。主人公的痛苦和反抗，考验演员对于故事和剧本的理解；人物间的悲欢离合，需要演员们相互配合；正派和反派的较量，激烈的矛盾都通过演员的演技得以体现。《尿都》所呈现的效果，是莱克顿人戏剧之路的一个小高峰。

In the winter of 2019, another theatrical production ‘Urine Town’ has taken placed in the crowded Pierrepont Theatre. It was an absurd story in black humour, which was full of contradictions, struggles and emotions. Students were absorbed in their own roles by well understanding and analyzing the characters. They showed acting and singing skills that were all attracting the audience immersed in the whole story. It was another markable moments presenting students’ dramatic skills in Lucton.
The very own theatre company
2020年年末，在历经了这特殊的一年后，莱克顿人仍制作出一场高水准的戏剧表演——《圣诞颂歌》。在制作《圣诞颂歌》的过程中，由戏剧老师Christopher Warburton担任总导演的莱克顿首支剧团“莱克顿舞台人”也应运而生了。剧团中，学生们分别担任了不同的职能，负责表演、舞台经理、服装设计、乐器演奏、灯光及音响、艺术设计等工作。专业化的运行模式，有条不紊地的工作安排，学生精湛的演技，以及一系列后台工作，使得《圣诞颂歌》这部剧达到了令人惊艳的效果。

At Lucton, it is our intention to enhance teamwork, discipline and creative abilities of students with drama lessons and regular showcase. Looking behind, school productions provided the opportunities for each student to take part in, and also cater for everyone’s particular forte, all of which will benefit for their life.
English language and literacy skills
《圣诞颂歌》是英国著名作家查尔斯·狄更斯1843年创作的小说，是其三部圣诞小说之一，有着重要的文学和社会意义。它让人们重新审视生活的意义，再去思考幸福与金钱的关系。在决定上演这部戏剧之后，学生们在戏剧老师Christopher Warburton的指导下首先对原作进行阅读和赏析，了解创作背景，感受语言特点，思考故事背后的意义。随后，学生们着手于台词，基于对作品的理解，练习如何饱含情感地讲台词，在这个过程中，戏剧老师甚至一字一句地纠正完善学生们的英语发音，这让学生的英语能力和语言表达能力也在实践中得到了提升。

A Christmas Carol, is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in 1843. It is one of the most beloved works of 19th century literature, and the story’s enormous popularity helped make Christmas a major holiday in Victorian Britian. The story was intended as a strong condemnation of greed, and the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge provided a popular optimistic message. Mr Warburton, the drama teacher, worked closely with students to read the script and accurate their pronunciation, by means of which, students were enabled to develop the English language skills both in reading and speaking.
戏剧是一个团队项目，“莱克顿舞台人”中汇集了许多不同性格、不同年级、不同想法的孩子。在这样的一个团队里，内向与开朗的孩子要相互交流；低年级与高年级的孩子要一同工作；需要有人去组织领导大家，也需要有人做好后勤辅助，更需要团队协作，共同完成目标。在这样的团队中，学生们彼此磨合，塑造自身的交流能力、合作能力、领导力和团队精神。

Drama is one of the team games. The Lucton Luvvies is formed the students in different year groups with different characters. They work together exploring themselves through teamwork which is also requires a great deal of peer trust, and also plays an important role in developing their capabilities in communication, listening, leadership, and cooperating.
如何自信地走上舞台；如何突破心理压力在台上“扮丑”；如何通过表情、肢体、动作让表演更加流畅……这些都是学生们在学习戏剧中要克服的难题。在表演的过程中，学生要体会的不仅仅是角色的心理，也是一个审视自我的过程。性格内向、害羞的孩子，需要克服恐惧，培养信心；热爱表演，渴望舞台的孩子，也有机会全心身的投入戏中，释放自我。

Students have great opportunity to widen their dramatic knowledge and to observe, enjoy and learn from performing on the stage. Studying drama requires emotional maturity, and give students a deep understanding of themselves. It can engender a deep sense of self-esteem and empower self-confidence because it much draws on emotions. Students with different levels of performing experience can find their own pace to reach their own expectation.
Practice of cross-curriculum
以全自制的形式完成一场戏剧表演，需要汇集文学、表演、设计、科学等等综合知识。戏剧让学生们有机会将学科知识运用其中。文学知识用于编剧，艺术技巧用于绘制背景板，设计理念可用于舞台布景，语言能力帮助学生练习台词，甚至，为了给舞台制造烟雾等奇特的效果，可以将科学课上学到的知识进行实践……在这个过程中，不仅锻炼了学生的思维，还提升了将理论付诸实践的能力。
