Why do we learn drama?
“The arts make a bridge across this world in ways that nothing else can,” – Julie Andrews
The study of Drama and the arts ignites a spirit of enquiry in students to explore and understand the world and their role in it. Drama allows us to communicate universal themes that connect us, no matter our background; express the need for social change; and to recreate and interpret information, ideas and emotions, using a range of artistic approaches. Through the study and exploration of a breadth of practitioners, eras and dramatic texts, students will develop the skills and knowledge needed to enhance their understanding of the power of theatre and its potential impact on society. Students will develop a critical engagement with drama and theatre allowing them to develop their own inquisitive and creative abilities in order to devise, analyse and evaluate a range of high-quality and innovative drama.
