Welcome to Drama and Performing Arts
At Peacehaven Community School we have a very busy and lively Drama Department. PCS has been awarded Artsmark Gold in celebration of the creative arts and we are very proud of this!KS3 Drama
Students have two hours of drama each fortnight at KS3, and at this stage are introduced to different styles of theatre, theatre practitioners and a wide range of drama techniques that prepares them for study at KS4.
Modules include Improvisation, Restoration theatre, Bertolt Brecht, Konstantin Stanislavski, responding to themes, Trestle Masks, Sound & Lighting and a variety of Dramatic Genres.
KS4 Drama
At GCSE level students have six hours of drama per fortnight. students do a public performance of a play with their group, and Drama Technical students (Stage Crew) plan and operate lighting, sound and stage management.
We offer GCSE Performing Arts and GCSE Drama that run concurrently. We are also offering the same qualifications for Drama Technicians, who will study lighting, sound and stage management.
Year 10 Drama students perform a play for the public which is a great opportunity to really understand the process of creating effective drama.
Building you up
On top of specialist subject knowledge, Drama also promotes life skills, such as:
- Confidence
- Co-operation
- Concentration
- Co-ordination
- Communication
Every year we put on at least one whole school production. This is available to students from all year groups, who can either audition for a role, or be part of the Stage Crew .
