Scene Study

This course aims to build up confidence and improve spoken English . It is designed to help students understand English dialogues and create an awareness of self-physicality. Students will learn how to create a character through analysis of English texts, while learning how to use voice and body correctly, thus preparing the students for an in-house performance of a published text in English. (Ex: Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde) Through the combination of Drama and English students are introduced to the basic imaginative, physical and vocal skills necessary for accurately communicating in English which helps acquire confidence for expression in English in real-life, professional situations.
