Where drama can take you: Drama has the potential to help you in whatever direction you choose to take in life. It provides you with vital life-skills that you will use on a day to day basis. Drama develops your communication, problem solving and teamwork skills – all things that you will need in your adult life. Drama encourages you to think outside the box and to apply different ways of thinking to a task. It will lead you to become confident in creating your own opinions and in applying theories. Drama doesn’t just lead you to becoming an actor, it is a sought-after qualification for many professions, including law and politics!
