Drama

Kindergarten–Year 2: Movement and Music; Exploring Sound in Storytelling

This term, students will discover how music shapes meaning in theatre, with a particular focus on how drama skills support musical performance. In musicals, expressive movement, characterisation, and storytelling are just as vital as singing, and students will explore how these elements work together on stage.

Through recorded music, body percussion, and singing, students will experiment with how changes in sound and rhythm influence the mood and intention of a scene. Each session builds confidence, creativity, and foundational skills in movement and dramatic expression.

By the end of the term, students will understand how drama and music combine to enhance storytelling in musical theatre, all through engaging, age-appropriate activities.

Years 3–6: Theatresports Tournament

Students will start the new year with a deep dive into the world of Theatresports / Improvisation! The art of making things up on the spot! Students will learn essential performance skills including: teamwork, active listening, trusting their instincts and utilising their creative imaginations. Any student would benefit from this class, whether they are experienced or completely brand new. The class will work together in teams, performing improvised theatre in drama games and presenting fully developed scenes. Each team will be able to test their skills in the final week of term as they perform a series of Theatresports activities for an audience.
