Drama Club
Drama club is open to all year 5 and 6 pupils.
My aim is to share some of the basic techniques of drama with children and help them to make the best use of an actor's three main tools: the voice, the face and the body.
We do this through drama games, improvisation and eventually performance.
Drama club changes when auditions are held in March for our annual production at the Heaton Shakespeare Festival. Over a two-month period we rehearse and perform a 30-minute abridged version of one of Shakespeare's plays.
The Heaton Shakespeare Festival is at The People’s Theatre in June. We share the venue with other schools in our locality. This year we will be performing Romeo and Juliet after highly successful performances of Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night in previous years.
Drama should be great fun but also very hard work. If you want any more information, contact Mr. Chapman.
