"In Drama I can be myself – and be someone else at the same time. Nothing else lets me do this!" - GCSE Drama student
"Drama is life with the dull bits cut out." – Alfred Hitchcock
Phase 1 Drama
The KS3 Drama course is all about learning to use physical and verbal expression to communicate meanings and ideas to other people.
Students learn to work with conventions and structures to create and perform drama and respond to drama others create.
It is an Art form which stands or falls by the input from the students working with the teacher to construct images, scenes and plays symbolic of the world we inhabit.
