Think of all of those Netflix show's you have been binging lately - most of the actors in these shows only ACT...
Soap Operas and plays don't include songs either :)]]> 2021-03-02 12:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/CardiffYouthService/4g18t17f462dnjrr/wish/1257918902 CardiffYouthService https://padlet.com/CardiffYouthService/4g18t17f462dnjrr/wish/1257933027 Drama that DOES include songs and dance numbers is known as 'MUSICAL THEATRE.' 
You may have heard of shows such as: 
Les Miserables, Mamma Mia, The Phantom of The Opera, Hamilton & Wicked? - These are all shows that consist of two acts and a cast that perform all 3 disciplines - Singing, dancing and acting. ]]> 2021-03-02 12:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/CardiffYouthService/4g18t17f462dnjrr/wish/1257933027 CardiffYouthService https://padlet.com/CardiffYouthService/4g18t17f462dnjrr/wish/1257946075 2021-03-02 12:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/CardiffYouthService/4g18t17f462dnjrr/wish/1257946075 CardiffYouthService https://padlet.com/CardiffYouthService/4g18t17f462dnjrr/wish/1257948506 Various famous actors and actresses tell us what inspires and drives them when taking on new roles.

Some schools may run Drama classes from year 7 onwards, while some may only offer it as a choice for GCSE/A Level options. 

Drama classes can often be paired/implemented in to your English classes. Some English Literature teachers will encourage you to read a play or script and act it out with your classmates to understand the story better and to understand the characters in more depth.]]> 2021-03-02 12:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/CardiffYouthService/4g18t17f462dnjrr/wish/1257973812 CardiffYouthService https://padlet.com/CardiffYouthService/4g18t17f462dnjrr/wish/1257999954 Colleges in Cardiff and surrounding areas offer Drama courses at AS/A Level and even some Foundation degrees.

Once you have that answer in your head, think about how many main characters there are in that movie. Now think about all of the background actors. Who does their hair and make up? Who makes the costume and set for that movie? How many people do you think it takes to film one scene? Camera assistants, sound operators, directors, script writers? It's a lot, right!?

The average number of credited crew members on a major studio film is around 600, but it can go much higher. Iron Man, for instance, credited just over 3,000.
