ROLES IN THEATRE
Roles in Theatre give the first experience to KS3 students to discover the other parts of the Theatre besides performance. It explores directing, playwrighting and different stage craft within design. The intent to the unit will be to promote a love of theatre whilst exploring English language strategies theoretically and within communication. For those who love Art and Design this will give an opportunity to put your skills to the test within theatre design options thinking about how to use Drama in the world beyond education.
