The Performing Arts consists of three key subjects: Dance, Drama, and Music.
Dance
Dance is a dynamic language of movement that explores the body as an
instrument of communication. Through the exploration of movement,
students develop physical and sensory awareness, while enhancing their
personal aesthetic. As they respond to and reflect on their experiences,
students strengthen both their self-confidence and their ability to
work effectively, both individually and in teams. Dance also provides a
foundation for post-secondary study and careers in dance and related
arts, whether for employment or leisure.
Drama
Drama celebrates the human presence across real, imagined, and
mediated worlds. It invites students to connect with their own creative
processes and offers opportunities to explore different perspectives,
such as beliefs, feelings, behaviours, and relationships in a variety
of situations. Drama equips students with a range of transferable
skills, useful in numerous vocational and future pathways. In today’s
knowledge-driven economy, the world needs workers who are innovative
thinkers, skilled communicators, and excellent team players.
Music
Music plays an integral role in everyday life, serving purposes that are
self-expressive, celebratory, social, cultural, political, and educational.
As a powerful educational tool, music contributes to the holistic
development of the individual. Studying music helps students gain a
deeper understanding and appreciation of the arts and enriches their
experience of the musical heritage found in various cultures.
Students who are passionate and excel in these fields can apply for the Redlynch Arts Courses of Excellence programs.
