Meet the new Drama teacher at St. Mary’s International School! Ms. Michelle Yamazaki joined our school community this year. Ms. Yamazaki, born in Utah, USA, has 20 years of experience in teaching Drama. Before joining St. Mary’s, she taught Drama at Skyline High School in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, where she inspired numerous students to the art of Drama.
Ms. Yamazaki explained that her job as a Drama teacher in St. Mary’s is very enjoyable and plans to stay a long time. She enjoys watching students improve and grow their confidence in acting. Looking ahead, she also plans to introduce activities such as scriptwriting to enhance students’ creativity and imagination.
Ms. Yamazaki enjoys acting and directing in her free time. She recently directed a play called “Baskerville” with the Tokyo International Players(TIP): an English-language community theater group in Tokyo. The play will open in October. Tickets are available from the Tokyo International Players’ official website.
“Thank you for welcoming me to St Mary’s, and I would love to encourage Students to join Drama. I really encourage you to try it and understand how you enjoy it. You might think Drama is just for girls, but it is really not. You might find your talent in Drama and be a great star.” Ms. Yamazaki explained to the students of St.Mary’s. As she said, she is really looking forward to teaching Drama to middle schoolers in the community. Her long-term goal for St. Mary’s is to direct a middle school musical. She is looking forward to accomplishing her goals with her fellow students.
