Drama

“I regard theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.”

Oscar Wilde

What Can You Expect Studying Drama at Tarporley High School and Sixth Form College

Key Stage 4 – GCSE Curriculum

Students will also have the opportunity to attend live theatre visits and will use digital theatre as a tool to develop their analysis and evaluation skills.  This course also offers students the chance to devise theatre and take on the role of a director within the devising process.
