The Year 10 Drama course is built on practical experimentation with a wide range of activities. Students will work in Group Devised, Paired and whole class exercises. They will learn to manipulate voice, movement, physical character and space through mask, improvisation, game playing and simple script exercises. There are extension opportunities to begin working with Lighting and Set Design as well as extending their interest into public performances at events and festivals with the Thames High Troupe.
