Performing Arts Program - Glenallen School

Performing arts includes drama, dance, music and media arts, giving every student opportunities to express themselves through movement, sound, story and performance. Students explore rhythm, sound and movement, participate in role play and storytelling, and experiment with digital and media tools to create and share their ideas. These experiences encourage creativity, self expression, enjoyment and confidence while also helping students build an appreciation of diverse artistic styles and traditions.

Students use a wide range of adapted equipment and technologies that make participation possible for all learners. This includes instruments mounted on stands for ease of reach and percussion instruments that can be played with switches. These supports ensure that every student can engage with rhythm, movement and sound in ways that are physically accessible and meaningful.

Learning in the performing arts also extends outside the classroom, with students having the opportunity to attend adapted theatre performances and incursions. These experiences, both in and outside of the classroom, support students to express themselves, work with peers, and grow in confidence as performers.
