DRAMA AND THEATRE
Introduction to Drama
AUTUMN DN101
Thursdays
Tutor: Sarah-Jayne Reid
If you’ve ever wanted to ‘give it a go’ but never known how, this enjoyable course has been designed for you. You will be introduced to many practical aspects of drama skills. A strong emphasis will be placed on experiential involvement, where each student will be expected to participate in many varied exercises through individual, paired and group work. Over the duration of the course there will be opportunity to explore improvisation, mime, non-verbal communication, characterisation, working from given lines, using props, voice production and projection. There will be a short performance on the last night where students will perform a short piece of their own choice.
There is no need to have any previous experience only the desire to join in and have lots of fun.
