Course Summary

Drama gives you the opportunity to create, perform and respond to theatrical works. You will explore creating self-devised theatre using different forms and styles.  

Throughout this course you will create, refine and present performances. Develop skills in acting using costume, make up and props to make your work pop. You are likely to build confidence in using expressive skills, including voice, movement, gesture and facial expression, as well as performance skills such as focus, timing, energy and audience engagement. 

Drama encourages creativity, collaboration and critical thinking. Learn how to shape stories, communicate ideas and create meaning for an audience. Explore performance styles from different cultures, places and times, and see what you can borrow to make your own performances.  

You even get to go to a live theatre show to pick up a few ideas.
