Introduction

Drama CCA

CHIJ STC's English Drama Club seeks to provide opportunities to develop students’ talents and lifelong passion for the theatrical arts. Through building students’ foundation in acting and stagecraft, the Drama Club aims to help students build their character and confidence to speak and express themselves in front of a large audience. They work towards annual productions within the school, and have worked in collaboration with other schools and organisations. In 2024, students will be involved in the production of STC Drama Night, showcasing their talents in acting, singing, scriptwriting and even songwriting. The Drama Club has attained a Certificate of Distinction for the SYF Arts Presentation in 2023, 2021 and 2019.

Training Focus

Performance (acting techniques, improvisation, character study, physical movement, puppetry, voice projection and articulation, spatial awareness)
Production (script-writing, costume, makeup, set design)
Learning journeys to watch and learn from professional theatre-makers

To develop critical thinkers and reflective performers, students are also required to keep a learning journal to highlight and reflect upon what they learn and experience.
