Amidst the pandemic, has been an engaged and productive year

in Drama.

In Grade 7. Pupils alternated between the three Arts and Culture
electives. In Drama, pupils were introduced to the basics of

Drama, focusing on storytelling and how we use expression to
bring our stories to life.

In Grade 8 pupils explored character work, as well as scene
creation. The Breakfast Club served as a text and film study,

engaging pupils on all levels from acting technique and character
analysis to costume design and ideas on reconceptualising the

film for a modern audience.

In Grade 9 pupils studied filmmaking. They explored various film
techniques through a number of short film practicals such as

silent film, stop animation, drone filming and split screen filming.
They also created a CGI film in collaboration with the ESTEAM
pupils.

In Grade 10 ,we explored the history of theatre, highlights were

examining the functions of and performing a Greek Chorus piece,
as well as exploring Shakespeare through learning about the

Elizabethan Era and working with Shakepearean texts.
