"The main factor in any form of creativeness is the life of a human spirit, that of the actor and his part, their joint feelings and subconscious creation."
Konstantin Stanislavski
At LSU we aim to increase the confidence, coordination and concentration of the girls and inspire gifted and talented students.
We want to help students learn to:
- Explore various drama techniques and genres
- Be creative and imaginative when working
- Concentrate on using language, gesture, tone of voice, movement and space
- Perform and speak in public with clarity and confidence
- Hone their performance techniques whilst using a variety of plays, poems, novels and other stimuli
- Evaluate and respond to their work and the work of others both verbally and in their written work
- Involve themselves in extra-curricular activities such as drama clubs and school plays
- Be creative and imaginative when working
Wider study and enrichment in Drama
There are many opportunities in Drama for all the girls right the way through the school, from joining drama clubs to performing in professional theatre spaces. We have strong links and work with outside theatres such as the Hampstead Theatre and The Royal Court. We also work closely with the practitioners at RADA.
