Drama/Theatre

Drama or theatre opens new doors to different points of view. Theatre assists students in developing the confidence required to speak clearly, lucidly, and thoughtfully. It aids in the development of social and communication skills. Not only that theatre education allows students to explore challenging social scenarios and vulnerable emotions.

In the Foundation Years, we aim to work on students’ focus and observational skills. We work towards the general awareness of space and people around leading them to activities of imitation. We then work towards their speech, training them to be loud and clear. We create an environment where students are engaged and motivated to learn the aspects of theatre in depth.

In the Preparatory Years, we continue to work on observational skills where imaginative thinking comes into play. We promote their imagination and develop their writing through their skill of storytelling. Breathing techniques and improvisation is a major part of training in drama for students where the teacher gives them a different catalyst for a different result.

In the Middle Years, we introduce students to the concept and application of rasas. The facial expressions, ranging from subtle to loud are introduced in their training. Deeper knowledge regarding face muscles and activities to activate these muscles are given. We work on voice modulation according to the chosen character through character-building exercises. Here, we also introduce the process of scripting giving them chance to create their own scripts in the process. 

In the Senior Years, we continue the process and application of Rasas with different and advanced techniques. We introduce them to production work and its intricacies which includes many backstage aspects. We promote students to create small inter-disciplinary productions in small groups for a better understanding of the subject. Knowledge regarding other artists and their work is a major part of their subject where we promote our students to watch live shows for better understanding.
