Drama
Through drama, learners have rich opportunities to be creative and to experience inspiration and enjoyment. Creating and presenting are prominent activities for all learners. Their acting and presenting skills are developed through participating in scripted or improvised drama. Exploring real and imaginary situations helps learners to understand and share their world. They develop their capacity to enjoy drama and their knowledge and understanding through evaluating technical aspects and scripts, and commenting on their work and the work of others. (Curriculum for Excellence: Expressive Arts)
CREATE Drama is committed to providing high quality drama experiences for children and building capacity in staff to ensure progression of skills and equity of opportunities and experiences for all.
In addition to the core drama provision delivered in schools, CREATE has had the opportunity to work with a variety of partnerships within our schools including the Tron Theatre, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS), National Theatre of Scotland(NTS), Citizen’s Theatre and National Youth Theatre. This provides our learners with outstanding opportunities to gain experience form industry professionals in devising, performance and technical theatre.
Additional drama opportunities have been provided to our children and young people through the Glasgow Schools Youth Theatre and ‘Come Act’ Days. These have both provided learners with the opportunity to showcase their work and talents to a wider audience of peers across the city.
