| DRAMA CURRICULUM INTENT |
| At North Chadderton School, the Performing Arts curriculum aims to engage, empower and inspire students to develop their creative potential. Our hierarchical curriculum enables students to build up their knowledge sequentially so that they are able to re-create professional repertoire and become creators of original thought-provoking work, through an in-depth understanding of how the arts have evolved. Students will be exposed to a wide variety of challenging texts, genres and composers to enable them to establish their own preferred style, which they will explore in depth. This intends to support students' ability to create original work which encompasses the fundamental, devising, chorographical and composing techniques which will enable them to create performances to a very high standard. |
| WHY DRAMA? |
|
Enjoy the theatre, watching films and performing? Drama is a subject that allows you to develop your skills as a performer and drama creator whilst also building on life skills that are transferable to every path you take. Drama is an exciting, inspiring and practical course. The subject promotes both an involvement in and an enjoyment of drama. Through practical application, you learn how to be both successful performers and theatrical designers. The course will build on your confidence, improve your inter-personal skills and help to develop your leadership qualities. Drama can therefore be a springboard into a variety of diverse careers and/or Further Education, not solely for a future in the Performing Arts. |
