Theatre, the imagined and enacted world of human beings, is one of the primary ways children and young people learn about life - about actions and consequences, about customs and beliefs, about others and themselves.
Participating in TYCs Primary Education Program will encourage and enable children and young people to experience the arts in active ways as creators, participants and audience members, while promoting their creative achievements in a holistic framework. Our programs are linked to the Australian National Curriculum, the QSA Drama Syllabus & the Essential Learnings. They are also based upon state, national and international research conducted in the area of arts education, in particular children and youth theatre. All programs can be assessed against the curriculum criteria by TYCs in-house QCT registered drama teacher. International studies have also found that arts education is important to the development of young minds and positively influences learning in other areas. Arts education can also help address social exclusion and assist the development of students with learning difficulties. Learning through the arts can create a more positive environment for students with artistic talents. In a TYC Program, students are involved in communicating ideas and information, and working with others and in teams. These activities are supported by collecting, analysing and organising information, planning and organising activities, solving problems and, when necessary to enhance the drama work, using technology, mathematical ideas and techniques. Creativity, interpretation, innovation and cultural understanding are all sought-after skills for new and emerging industries in the 21st century. Drama education provides students with the tools to develop these skills in an integrated manner. |
