             Erasmus Impro Theatre


             Drama and education

             Our school is currently involved in a European
             Union  initiative  relating  to  theatrical
             improvisation  techniques  that  aim  to  bring
             issues  that  are  important  to  the  students
             through the expressive medium of drama.

             We  were  given  the  story  of  The  Emperor's
             New  Clothes  and  our  task  was  to  study  the
             story and take the values from the story and
             re-interpret  them  to  tackle  the  issues  that
             face young people today.

             Through  discussion,  group  work  and  guided
             lessons,  the  students  identified  areas  that
             concerned  them  and  addressed  them
             through  role  play,  character  development,
             script-writing and performance.
