HANDBOOK - Drama
Introduction
Dear Parents, Welcome to Drama at Dulwich College Shanghai. In the Drama Department, our key aim is to allow our students to grow and develop their creativity and resilience by exposing them to a wide range of performance practices and skills. We believe that Drama is for everyone and encourage our whole community to get involved.
As well as our wide-ranging and rigorous curriculum, we offer a large variety of CCA activities, from large-scale productions, to smaller, ensemble based clubs. In this handbook you can get a taste of our work, with descriptions and pictures from some of our projects last year. We hope to see you in one of our audiences soon! Ms. Carla Graves Head of Drama
