FIELDWORK EXPERIENCE

The Drama School offers secondary schools in the city, where theatre is a crosscurricular subject, the opportunity to have some fieldwork experience in the world of theatre.

This fieldwork experience is based on providing the students with the tools they need to create a show that will be performed at the end of the process. Furthermore, these tools enable the students to acquire values that will make them people who are able to intervene in an active and critical way in society and develop the necessary knowledge, capacity, abilities and attitude for personal growth.

The different groups from the secondary school will work together to create a show. Each subgroup will perform a part, passage or act of the final show.

extracurricular activities

At the Drama School we believe that theatre is an educational tool which has no boundaries, due to the wide variety of aspects that are worked on. Hence, we believe it is of utmost importance for children to have the opportunity to do drama as from an early age.

The aim of the Drama School’s workshops is to get the children to play together and to stimulate creativity. Theatrical play, like all games, has its established rules, and it is from these that theatrical creativity can start to take form.
