Welcome to Dalriada’s Drama Department

- William Shakespeare, As You Like It

​

Department Aims

​

The Drama Department at Dalriada aims to encourage students to:

• Develop their own personal interest in Drama;

• Engage actively in lessons so they develop as effective and independent learners, and as critical and reflective thinkers, with enquiring minds;

• Work imaginatively and creatively;

• Analyse and evaluate their own work, and the work of others;

• Develop and demonstrate competence in a range of practical, creative, and performance skills;

• Develop skills that provide a basis for progression to employment or further study;

• Consider and explore the impact of social, cultural and historical influences on drama texts and activities; and

•  HAVE FUN!

​

At all Key Stages, we hope to combine theory and practice, and take every opportunity to allow the students to work collaboratively, in a friendly, supportive, energetic, and engaging environment. Students are rarely in their seats, and can often be found rehearsing various scripts, trying on costumes, or sketching out ideas for their design projects.
