Drama Workshop
Action packed, fun and educational drama workshops are offered to all S1 pupils and run by staff from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama.
The workshops are designed to engage pupils physically, intellectually and emotionally through a variety of dramatic conventions. They encourage participants to think about their educational and professional future by exploring the dreams, ambitions and predicaments of a central fictional character called Charlie, who, like the pupils themselves, faces the challenges of selecting a future career path. Through an investigative and creative process participants will experience what it means to be Charlie. They gain further understanding of the choices, which remain open to them as they themselves reach this very crucial stage in their own educational and social development.
