Young Drama Company (Secondary 1-3)
This exciting program from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland is designed for students in secondary 1-3 to explore text and performance on a deeper level.
About Young Drama Company (Secondary 1-3)
Welcome to Royal Conservatoire of Scotland's 10-week Drama Company which will focus on one carefully selected drama text*, as a framework for performance and educational exploration.
This exciting program is designed for students in secondary 1-3 to explore text and performance on a deeper level, and will take you on a creative journey where you will dive deep into the themes of the selected play*. You’ll have the chance to engage in character exploration, adapt key scenes, and develop your performance skills through a variety of exercises and collaborative projects.
As part of our Drama Company, you’ll work closely with your peers to bring this classic story to life on stage, fostering teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking along the way. By the end of the program, you’ll not only enhance your acting abilities but also gain a richer understanding of the powerful messages within the text.
These focused classes invite students to explore every aspect of one carefully selected theatrical production. From the initial read-through to character exploration, scene work, and performance, students will immerse themselves in the world of the piece. They will hone their acting, movement and vocal techniques, study the script in depth, and learn about staging, blocking, and ensemble work. By concentrating on a single show, students will gain a thorough understanding of the play’s themes, characters, and dramatic arc, culminating in a final sharing performance that showcases their growth and skills.
Students will discover and explore a wide range of skills and techniques to develop their skill base while exploring their creativity. The aim is that young people not only develop creative skills but also undertake personal and social development related to their interests and understanding of the world.
Collaboration will be a vital part of this course as students will work with an experienced tutor to expand their acting skills and open their creativity as artists.
Throughout all our secondary drama activities we find opportunities for discussion and reflection, which leads to a deeper understanding of each art form and allows each student to learn in a variety of practical ways.
Most importantly, the classes are a fun way to connect young people with others who love being creative and taking part in drama activities within a safe, supportive environment. Students will be guided by our experienced lecturers to build their confidence, creativity and learn transferable skills to become not only a confident performer, but a confident young person.
By the end of this course, you will have:
An understanding of established acting techniques including analysing text and how to create a character.
Analysed the tools to deliver a believable and truthful performance.
Investigated characterisation through voice, movement, and improvisation.
An established understanding of textual analysis and its importance.
Join us as we explore an iconic narrative and unleash your creativity in a supportive and inspiring environment!
