Using stories to transform. Drama informs and challenges us by holding up a house of mirrors to ourselves and our world. DADP journeys beyond performance, integrating the tools of drama with an understanding of what drives human thought and behaviour. The result is a powerful engine for education, social intervention, rehabilitation and healing.
Do you have a story to tell? How can you take that story further and connect with others? Can your story change lives or influence communities for the better, and if so, how?
Not just the theatre — the world. Here at CASS, authentic learning means extending the boundaries of the classroom and stage. Connect with your audience through industry-based assessments. Design programmes to meet the specific needs of participants, including children, youth and the elderly as well as marginalised or underprivileged communities.
With the course, you will:
- Draw on the expertise of our Artist-in-Residence and leading dramatists to create programmes for different communities. Through our master classes, pick the brains of renowned applied theatre practitioners, including academics and experts flown in from overseas.
- Leave the classroom and work with communities from a wide range of settings, such as schools, prisons and welfare homes. Collaborate with educational institutions and non-profit organisations. Intern with local drama companies and community development agencies.
- Bring inner space to life in The Black Box, our concrete theatrical space with unlimited potential to transform itself, its players and its audience.
Join us — combine your dramatic flair with the heart to make a difference in society.
