Aoife’s programmes are aligned with NCCA Drama Curriculum strands: Exploring and Making Drama, Reflecting on Drama, and Co-operating and Communicating in Making Drama.
Through role-playing, characterisation, and story-building, children are encouraged to experiment with their creativity, explore possibilities, and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.
The process emphasises play and exploration in a supportive and inclusive environment, where theatrical elements like gesture, movement, voice and improvisation bring ideas and emotions to life.
The role of the drama teacher is to nurture a child’s natural inclination for imaginative play and make-believe, guiding them to extend their creativity into broader areas of knowledge and life skills.
By incorporating theatrical techniques such as dramatic tension, spatial awareness, and emotional expression, drama not only addresses a child’s current cognitive and emotional needs but also supports their future personal, social, and intellectual development.
This holistic approach helps children build confidence, empathy, collaboration, and communication skills, ensuring every child benefits from an enriching and engaging experience tailored to their school’s unique requirements.
