DramaFor many students, drama is a new subject in year 7 and at Sawyers Hall, we carry the subject, through all years, all the way up to A level. Drama is a brilliant way to work in an interactive environment, to get up on your feet and do something creative. But don’t be afraid, acting isn’t for everyone; drama provides all students with the opportunity to be creative in lots of different ways – as an actor, a director and even a set designer.The range of topics we explore at Sawyers Hall begins with drama basics, taking you through pantomime, Greek theatre, Shakespeare, mime and other comedy classics, plus the exploration of different plays. We are always looking for opportunities to go and see live theatre and many students enjoy our annual trip to see the West End hit ‘Blood Brothers’ in year 9 – an exciting reward after four weeks of studying the play and getting to act the parts yourself. At GCSE and A level, it’s skills, skills, skills! We take a real hands on approach and succeeding in the subject is all about getting up on your feet and trying things out for yourself – you will have the opportunity to work on scripted plays and devise your own work, all for public performance in our drama studios, equipped with sprung wooden floors, versatile staging blocks and lighting gantry. And there’s more of the same at A level. When you need a break from sitting behind the
school desk and staring at the whiteboard, drama is a real contrast
to the typical classroom lesson, giving you valuable skills for
the future in an environment that is committed to achievement….
And fun!
