Drama

Welcome to the Walhampton Drama Department where we celebrate & embrace Individuality , creativity & imagination . Our dedicated team love sharing our knowledge , skills , expertise , professional experience & passion for the Performing Arts .

Drama gives our students an amazing opportunity to connect , play and work together as a company. They will embrace and explore infinite possibilities , express thoughts , feelings and ideas and find a true sense of belonging .

Drama connects people, encourages empathy and gives us a unique opportunity to step into someone else’s shoes and to see the world through their eyes . Connection makes us kinder and encourages generosity which boosts health and happiness. The more you connect ,  the HAPPIER you feel !

Our supportive environment nurtures lasting confidence , inspires imagination , develops talent and resilience and empowers our young people for a life long journey of self discovery and happiness.

We believe that the arts has the power to Engage , Empower , Inspire and Transform . The world needs creative thinkers and at Walhampton we aim to nurture and develop imagination. Einstein famously said, “ imagination is more important than knowledge. “

Through Drama, we can develop empathy and curiosity. We encourage our students to try to see things with fresh eyes and to discover something new & different . Staying curious helps us to learn & grow . Children & young people don’t need to be taught to think outside the box - they do this naturally . Drama & Imagination help us to discover & explore new ideas . The world needs creative thinkers & people who aren’t afraid to throw the box away ! It is a privilege that we get to spend our time with people who are excited about life & all it’s amazing possibilities !
