Theatre

Classic dramatic works are an excellent vehicle for students to understand the basic theatrical elements, structure, classification, the human spirit and cultural features. This programme helps students to broaden their outlook, and engage in continuous learning about theatre using appreciation of worldwide classics as a starting point. Designed under the concept of “From Page to Stage”, the final stage production session is an essential component of the programme. Through the final performance, the students will not only be drawn to the allure of the theatre but also share a team spirit that will help them grow as individuals and in their community.

In terms of technique, drama is the most difficult of the arts as the themes carry both cultural and moral elements. A classic should be built on three principles: human spirit, social reflection and zeitgeist. Therefore, this programme is educationally important as it helps compensate for the widespread lack of drama courses in schools.
