Drama

Drama and Theatre are a synthesis of performing arts disciplines using spoken/written word, movement, sound, symbols and theme to inspire exploration, process and production. Drama performers' creative experience, process and production are deeply connected to themselves, the performance space, audience, and each other. Drama makers synthesise and apply performance techniques such as voice and physicality, and production elements to present stories which attempt an interpretation of reality whilst trying to make meaning out of their experiences, thoughts and feelings.

By the end of Primary 6, Drama students at SISHK will be:

• Confident and reflective storytellers and presenters

• Effective communicators of thought and emotion through visual, auditory, symbolic, vocal and physical expression

• Responsible, respectful, and appreciative collaborators and critical thinkers

• Experienced and creative problem solvers

• Knowledgable interpreters of artistic intentions and contexts

Drama at SISHK is offered to P1 to P6 and is taught once per week per class.
