Why Choose Drama?

Drama enables individuals to explore, discover, extend and present their ideas and feelings about themselves and their world in a creative, stimulating environment.
 
Due to the "active" nature of Drama, individuals are consistently engaged in developing their capacities of expression and imagination.

Drama can stimulate an individual's creative abilities through a wide variety of performance mediums, such as character role plays, scripts, mime, stage performances, mask, puppetry, movement, voice and improvisations. With such variety on offer, Drama easily caters for all personality types and individual requirements. The process of creating drama gives participants the opportunity to develop skills in interpreting, researching, problem-solving, and negotiating and decision making.

In presenting Drama, students learn the importance of clear communication, respect for an audience, spontaneity, focus, discipline and pride in their abilities.

All these skills are transferable to everyday situations, which an individual will be better able to handle due to their confidence and communication skills they have developed through drama.

Voice

Every time you open your mouth to speak, your voice discloses more than you think. Whether it bubbles with enthusiasm or drones on monotonously, it has an enormous impact on the impressions that are made about you.

Your tone of voice can win or lose your listeners. It can make or break a deal, build rapport, establish trust and strengthen relationships, inspire confidence or introduce confusion and misunderstanding. It can also lift your profile.

We are inundated with communications technology that we sometimes forget about the subtle but rich clues that our voices carry. Technology may be versatile and efficient but it can never replace the enthusiasm, energy and credibility of the human voice.

Voice exercises achieve three outcomes. They strengthen the voice so that it carries across the room and sustains itself over prolonged use; builds variety of tone so that listeners are engaged and able to follow the sensitivity of what is being said, and lastly, it allows the listener quick and easy access to the spoken word by changes in pitch, pace and inflection. Excellent reasons to work on your voice!
