Drama

Drama is a discipline that originates in the impulse to depict human experiences, communicate understanding about these experiences, and give them form and meaning. Drama is a powerful mode of expression that has evolved over time to include a variety of forms and styles. It seeks to bridge the real and the imagined, the concrete and the symbolic, the practical and the inspired. Drama is an interactive, creative process that engages students in relationships with others and with the environment.
