Performing Arts
The main skills the students leave us with, and what we base our Performing Arts curriculum on, are:
- Communication: The ability to perform a complex character with voice, gesture & physicality
- Trust: To take direction without personality getting in the way, and take risks.
- Teamwork: To work with a number of different cast members, to lead and be led.
- Maturity: To work independently on a given project while understanding self.
- Expression (Creativity): To create a piece of complex drama from any stating point
- Evaluation: To be critically self and peer evaluative and be able to take professional criticism
Please see our Performing Arts News section and check back frequently for updates.
