English Language & Drama Club
To build acting, stagecraft, and Scrabble skills. No prior experience is needed.
The English Language & Drama Club provides opportunities for pupils to develop a lifelong passion for the language through games and drama. Besides engaging in mindful play like Scrabble, students also learn about the various drama techniques of vocal variety, voice projection, facial and spatial awareness, tableau, improvisation etc.
Students are also involved in stagecraft; staging and production processes that include scriptwriting, stage managing (use of space and behind the scenes work e.g., sounds and lighting) and directing. Students’ knowledge on stagecraft will be deepened through learning journeys to MediaCorp / Esplanade / Wild Rice Theatre as they get to experience first-hand, what goes on behind the scenes of these theatres.
Objectives
Pupils will be able to:
Acquire acting and stagecraft (scriptwriting, stage managing & directing) skills
Explore, experiment and express themselves using the drama techniques
Develop social and emotional competencies while working together to achieve a common creative goal
Apply strategic thinking and decision-making skills during competitions, performances, or activities carried out during CCA.
CCA Overview
Members from the English Language and Drama club were always encouraged to audition for external productions. This will enable our members to be constantly networking, be mentored and engaged productively in the drama industry.
The opportunity, exposure and CCA training provided members with the conducive support, experience and motivation to continue to pursue their zealous interest in acting.
We also encourage our members to actively participate in Scrabble Tournaments organized by Mattel since 2020.
They were given an opportunity to engage and learn from renowned Scrabble experts in Mattel and even the Top Scrabble player in Singapore.
We have been consistently ranked in the 10 placings for two consecutive years. Two years back in 2022, one of our ex-students, Zachary Zhuang achieved 5th in the National competition and competed in the Southeast Asia level tournament.
