Drama

Drama is an exciting subject that gives you the opportunity to explore different types of theatre and performance.  This includes working on scripted pieces along with devising your own productions. 

Not only will you learn how to use your voice and body effectively to create a dynamic character onstage, you will benefit from gaining confidence to perform in front of a live audience a skill that you can carry with you later on in life. 

Drama is also about teambuilding, learning to work together as you discover different genres and styles of the theatre.  A great experience for people of all ages!
