Drama skills, production and performance, plus written analysis of prescribed plays.
What Drama is about
Drama is practical work plus analysis: you create and perform, study production skills such as set, lighting and sound, and write about prescribed plays and your own performance choices.
What it offers you
You gain confidence in front of an audience, teamwork and analytical writing — valuable for acting, technical theatre, teaching and any role that involves presenting.
