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

@JMA_Maths @JMASport @scienceJMA @mrduffymusic @EllenerLaura @JMAReadingFC @JMAcademy1 @JmaRockets In the Performing Arts the ability to follow a rhythm and be able to count time is very important. We also use maths to determine time performance periods and work out how long we have to rehearse...its normally not very long!
