Drama

Do you want to be able to speak publicly and seem extremely confident, even if you're not? Do you want to understand the nuances of body language and verbal communication and be able to 'read people'? Do you read things and think about the psychology of the character and imagine their lives beyond the confines of the page? Have you got a great imagination but find that most subjects don't allow you to use it? Are you practical and energetic? 

In Drama, you will do everything from building and designing sets to writing and directing your own plays. You will be in a Drama production. You will learn about different styles of theatre and you will go on trips to see plays and shows all while gaining credits for University Entrance.

Why study Drama?

Drama helps us make sense of the world and our place within it. It celebrates and explores our culture and encourages us to challenge the attitudes and beliefs within it. Through Drama, students develop a deeper understanding of themselves and others.

In studying Drama, students learn to structure a variety of elements and to use dramatic conventions, techniques and technologies to create imagined worlds. Through experimentation, both individual and collaborative, they discover how to link imagination, thoughts and feelings. As students work with drama techniques, they learn to use spoken and written language with increasing control and confidence, and to communicate effectively using body language, movement and space. As they perform, analyse and respond to different forms of drama and theatre, they gain a deeper appreciation of the human experience.
