Pathway
Drama has huge value as an educational tool. It serves to improve students' life skills (communication, cooperation, self expression, creativity, confidence, problem solving) as well as their Drama knowledge. Increasingly in our technology driven world, these skills are becoming lost. Many workplaces are expressing a need for their work force to have greater inter personal skills. Drama is a proven way of encouraging these qualities. It is a university approved subject, therefore those wishing to continue on an academic pathway are catered for.
