Speech & Drama
Speech and Drama
Speech and Drama CCA believes in building confidence and creativity through performance. Students learn skills such as public speaking, voice projection, expression, and stage presence while exploring drama techniques like role-play, improvisation, and script work. At New Town Primary School’s Speech and Drama Club, we aim to foster students’ teamwork, develop their imagination and grow their love for the performing arts.
Objectives
Speech and Drama students will be developed in these five key areas:
-
Communicate clearly and effectively, focusing on clear articulation, voice modulation, and vocal projection.
-
Express emotions and ideas through various forms of presentation and drama performance to enhance their creativity and imagination.
-
Work collaboratively in a group for presentation and ensemble for drama performances, emphasizing the importance of cooperation and active listening.
-
Learn and apply key drama techniques such as improvisation, character building, and script interpretation, stagecraft and scriptwriting in service of enhancing performance, for example prop-making, sets and costumes.
-
Build confidence by providing opportunities for public speaking, performance and other drama related activities (e.g. prop-making).
