🎭 Drama – The Art of Physical Comedy!

This half term, our Drama students have been exploring the world of physical comedy and the use of masks!

Through movement, body language and expression, students have been discovering how characters and emotions can be communicated without words.

It's been a fantastic opportunity to explore a different style of performance and get creative in Drama! 👏
