Drama

The study of drama enables young people to develop an interest in and enjoyment of investigating and enacting a wide range of theatrical forms, styles and acting methods. Through critical reflection and acquiring understanding, knowledge and skills, students respond to the ideas and dramatic works of others by creatively and collaboratively developing their own ideas into dramatic action for performance.

What students will be doing in the course:

• Exploring a variety of theatrical styles, genres, and traditions

• Working collaboratively to devise, rehearse, and perform original and scripted works

• Developing acting skills, stagecraft, and expressive techniques

• Analysing and responding to live and recorded performances

• Building confidence and creativity through improvisation, movement, and role-play
