The intent of Drama at TCS is to build confident, creative, collaborative communicators ready to succeed beyond school whether within the performing arts or any sectors of employment. Students will embark on an artistic journey learning and applying the core skills associated with theatre’s past and present, whilst also embracing the role Drama plays in developing their confidence, self-esteem and emotional intelligence; providing life skills to enable them to effectively navigate the world in which they live.
Through the study of drama, we aim to:
- Develop the core skills associated with effective drama: Concentration, collaboration, and creativity.
- Equip students with the tools to shape their own theatre: learning the techniques to devise a plot, craft characters and create settings.
- Enable students to develop physical characterisation
- Explore ways that students can express themselves though the body
- Develop their understanding of the skills and knowledge that are essential to the creative
- Promote teamwork
