Squad Leader Janna Sicely

Drama is an art form that explores "people" : traits, personalities, genetics, thought patterns, action reaction and consequence, emotional development, all through a variety of work from outstanding playwrights that document history, love, laughter, misfortune and death... Students undergo an exciting creative journey of character analysis, development, action, and performance whilst developing their confidence in a public realm - and to have confidence is to truly believe in oneself. Drama is the art of human behaviour.
