Drama and Musical Theatre
Drama is fun and the skills learned will be beneficial to pupils in all aspects of life, now and in the future. It allows children to explore and express feelings in many situations, increasing their experience and awareness of the world. Drama classes help children to develop their imagination, decision making and problem solving skills, whilst building self confidence and a sense of respect and consideration for others.
We give our pupils the opportunity to study improvisation, role play, characterisation, mime and scripted work. We also include singing as a group and solo if desired, as this also helps to develop articulation and communication skills.
Our pupils are also given practical training and experience in the technical approach to theatre production, set, props, stage make-up, costume and direction. They are given the opportunity to perform in front of each other and to an audience, with at least one production in a theatre every year. Our lessons are lively and fun and are always over subscribed! (LAMDA and IDTA examinations can be taken)
