Answer 1

Answer:

Why teach drama?

Drama has an important rôle to play in the personal development of our students. The skills and qualities developed by students in drama, such as teamwork, creativity, leadership and risk-taking are assets in all subjects and all areas of life. Drama stimulates the imagination and allows students to explore issues and experiences in a safe and supportive environment.

It is vital to create an atmosphere of security, trust and concentration. Drama promotes self-esteem and provides all students with a sense of achievement regardless of academic ability.

It's about social skills, communication skills and having fun - we learn by doing!

Objectives :

Each student should

identify with characters and actions through rôle-play, (for example, a dramatized story/and as spectators of a performance);

have the confidence and ability to put across a particular point of view;

learn how to work with others to solve human and practical problems;

create and take part in improvised scenes in order to explore issues;

invent and develop convincing rôles in specific situations;

know how to structure dramatic sequences in order to convey meaning;

be aware of the need for dramatic conventions (eg. light, dark, movement, pause, sound, silence);

be aware of and use a variety of dramatic forms and techniques, to express ideas and feelings (eg. mime, movement, costume, make-up, props, set-design);

appreciate drama in performance, both as participants and as spectators;

understand the educational, cultural and social purposes of drama;

develop a vocabulary of theatre/drama;

explore the variety of human emotions through drama;

learn to listen and concentrate;

learn to respect and where appropriate, depend on, others (e.g. trust skills);

develop awareness (sensitivity) and enjoyment of the ways groups work (e.g. decision-making, problem solving, negotiation), willingness to accept responsibility, a democratic approach;

evaluate his or her achievements as an individual and through groups in which he or she works; learn critical awareness;

appreciate the values and attitudes of their own and other communities, recognize social conventions and stereotypes - be prepared to examine them;

explore cross-curricular themes;

Good drama requires a clear sense of discipline and direction from both teachers and students; all are equally responsible for the quality of learning that takes place.
