Drama 10-11
The Art of Questioning
OVERVIEW
ATH offers a teaching program adapted to the physical skills and psychological development that characterize the different ages. The program includes a period of general drama training for all groups, followed by a period of theatre production.
It is the time of the fastest physical and psychological growth for the human being. Teenagers of this age have a high cognitive capacity and develop abstract thoughts. They constantly ask questions and try to answer them by themselves. Our curriculum encourages them to ask, think and analyze the characters and the situations. Then they develop their critical thinking. On top of that, our curriculum focuses on classical theatre plays to enrich their knowledge.
