This programme is an introduction to drama style. During this course, students will be given an overview of the drama skills, how to use them and how to develop characters, using each specific skill in an engaging and supportive environment. In each lesson, students will be encouraged to focus on crafting a character from scratch whilst manipulating their bodies and voices to achieve a believable and sustained character. There will be ample opportunity to practise each skill every lesson and students will leave each class feeling more knowledgeable about what it takes to be a strong and dramatic performer.
