Course Description:
Our English with Drama Course combines our highly popular General English Course with an exciting and creative course covering theoretical and practical approaches to drama.
This course is available for students with an intermediate level of English and above.
Each morning you study English on our General English course and you can get more information on what these include here. This course offers you a special insight into English and British culture and will help support you to get the most linguistically from your drama sessions.
Drama Syllabus:
This course is designed to give you insight and experience from many different aspects of drama. Depending on when and how long you choose to study the course, these include.
Two Different Units:
Exploring and Developing an Actor’s Skills
Text Work – from Page to StageL
We work on texts leading to the performance of selected scenes in the final week of the course in the Barn Theatre. The skills and techniques covered in the first unit will be used in the rehearsal of the chosen scenes. The choice of plays and scenes will be dependent on the number in the class and the male/female ratio. The intention will be to choose texts that give good opportunities to all members of the class, to play roles that allow them to develop their acting skills.
Different styles of Acting include:
Physical Theatre:
Work on images, tableaux, metaphor and Expressionism to create non-naturalistic improvised work. We will look at texts that allow us to explore physical theatre techniques and develop physical theatre skills.
Commedia Dell’arte:
A practical exploration of the stock characters and key aspects of Commedia such as Lazzi. Building physical comedy skills. Then dividing into groups to rehearse and perform some Commedia scenarios.
Improvisation:
Exercises to introduce a variety of improvisation techniques such as Accepting, Building, Blocking, Thought tracking, Spotlighting, Hot Seating, and Rewind.
Mike Leigh:
Working in the style of Mike Leigh, the students will create naturalistic three-dimensional characters and then develop these characters in a variety of scenes. Scenes will be edited and rehearsed to create short pieces of drama. The students work towards putting on a short performance for fellow students.
Drama Lessons
We have a very experienced drama teacher who trained at The Central School of Speech and Drama in London. The course is taught partly at Loxdale and partly at the Southwick Community Centre in the Barn Theatre. This is a marvellous, professionally equipped theatre space, so students are able to work on their acting skills in an inspiring environment. The aims of this course include developing self-confidence, imagination, individual expression and creativity.
Please note, as the main learning focus of the drama lessons is not English, these are not accredited by the British Council.
