Subjects & Qualifications
Drama
Drama is the study of an artform that has relationships at its core: relationships between people; between people and ideas; and between people and the environment. It covers the theoretical and practical expression of ideas in sound and action, offering learners opportunities for training in aesthetic discrimination and perception. Through co-operation, participation and interaction, Drama helps learners to gain understanding and knowledge of real-life issues, events, situations and relationships.
