CAPA Electives
Introductory Drama
Contact person: Mr Wright
The Year 8 Drama course offers students the opportunity to explore self-expression, increase self-confidence and foster social skills through a variety of practical play formats. Students will learn about and develop performance techniques such as improvisation, physical comedy, vocal skills and mime whilst developing an appreciation for theatre and film, and engaging in practical games and play building activities. All of these skills are explored further in Year 9 and 10 so this is the perfect opportunity to get a taste for Drama before moving into Stage 5!
