Year 8 Drama Enrichment Day

At the end of Term Two Mr Muschal and Mrs Cotton were blessed to introduce 34 creative and talented Year 8 students to the world of Drama at St John Paul College. The day explored teamwork, trust, focus, movement, vocals, characterisation, and playbuilding. Students utilised problem solving, team work, higher order thinking and creativity skills to devise original pieces of theatre. Characters in the performances cried, screamed, breathed life into ‘clay’ and fought for survival.

It was a fun filled day packed with games, workshops and performances. Students overcame personal fears and insecurities, and believed in themselves; they took creative risks and they amazed themselves and others. 

Drama is one of the many subjects on offer for Stage 5 and it is open to everyone (regardless of your previous Drama experience). Students who missed out on attending the Drama Enrichment Day are still able to choose the subject and are encouraged to chat to Mr Muschal or Mrs Cotton at school if they have any questions.

A huge round of applause to everyone who participated at the Enrichment Day and we look forward to many more entertaining and empowering lessons in Drama.
