Term 2 will see the start of the new Waverley College Drama Club. Drama Club will be a new and exciting addition to the already diverse Winter co-curricular offerings at the College. It will run throughout the Winter season on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons at the Performing Arts Centre (PAC).
Convened by Ms Alison Jinga (Head of Drama) and Mr Peter Lamb, the Club will offer opportunities for both students who have been unable to take up Drama as an elective at school, and existing Drama students who wish to extend themselves outside the classroom.
In Term 2, we will start with Drama games and activities to build confidence and important collaboration skills, before moving on to performing short scenes for the stage.
During Term 3, the focus will switch to camera acting techniques, with students able to gain valuable insight in how to prepare and perform for the small screen, using extracts from existing screenplays and equipment provided by the College.
There will also be an opportunity to perform and receive feedback on any audition pieces students may have upcoming, outside the College.
Interested students from Years 7 t0 12 are encouraged to sign up.
Please see Mr Lamb or Ms Jinga for further information.
