Drama:
At this stage, young people are guided towards exploring different methods of enhancing characterisation. They are encouraged to attempt creating imagined situations through improvisation. Furthermore, we cover the areas of conceptualisation and the delivery of sustained, coherent and fluent performances. They learn the intricacies of in-depth analysis of material and develop the ability to provide independent interpretation.
Vocal training:
Young people are taught to focus on accuracy, technical fluency and communication through a variety of styles. They acquire the confidence to demonstrate technical control across the full compass of the voice within a variety of genres. While they develop musical and stylistic awareness, they are encouraged to explore beyond four-part harmony in a choir setting.
Performance Arts:
Students hone their critical thinking and analytical skills while researching and preparing their performances. They are encouraged to be innovative, multi-skilled and reflective performers, developing their skills in rehearsal and performance methodologies. They gain an in-depth understanding of the principles and practice of vocal and physical skills, characterisation and audience engagement through preparing and performing a range of material drawn from different areas.
