Group Drama
Hour-long drama classes are held on a weekly basis at Junior (years 3-7), Intermediate (years 8-9) and Senior (years 10-13) level. Students are given the opportunity to devise, perform and direct in small groups and as a whole group, and are trained in a number of dramatic disciplines from mime to musical theatre, script work to improvisation, mask work to physical theatre.
The drama groups are also encouraged to perform regularly in front of audiences – in concerts, the Bedfordshire Festival of Music, Speech & Drama, and in theatre productions.
