Drama
Through Drama, students become familiar with the culture and conventions of theatre and learn to exercise critical judgement when:
- making;
- performing; and
- responding to a range of styles and genres.
Drama gives students the opportunity to invent, imagine and bring stories to life through a range of dramatic techniques, building confidence, creativity and communication skills. Through performance and play analysis, students learn to express ideas, develop critical thinking and engage with complex themes.
Students develop the foundations of Drama - communication, concentration and collaboration - while learning to work effectively as part of a team, contribute ideas and take on leadership roles. By performing, directing and responding to others, they strengthen their vocal and physical presence and grow in confidence.
Drama is a valuable part of the curriculum, equipping students with the skills, knowledge and self-assurance to succeed both in school and beyond.
BST is also partnered with the Royal Shakespeare Company to provide a series of workshops for students, nurturing creativity, confidence, and a lasting appreciation for the performing arts..
