Co- & Extra-Curricular Activities

Drama Companies

High School students are able to select from a variety of options offered by the High School Drama Company Program.  The companies are:

Writing for Theatre

Physical Theatre

Theatresports

Shakespeare Globe Festival

Year 8 Company

Year 7 Company

Production Company

Students are able to learn new skills or extend existing skills in the craft of acting and story-telling, and are given access to experts and practitioners who specialise with passion and enthusiasm in a particular area of drama.

The companies complement the drama program offered at the school, helping to develop confidence and skills in young people. They teach that our bodies are instruments for performance. Costumes, scenery and lighting can help to create mood and contextualise performance work but essentially theatre is created as the performer manipulates the elements of drama using his/ her body in the space to create a negotiated meaning between actor and audience.
