The Drama Elective Programme of ACJC
ACJC's Drama Elective Programme (DEP) gives students the opportunity to pursue their interests in theatre and drama as an academic H2 level subject. The curriculum is based on local, regional and international theatre forms, with students conducting independent research into the stories and performance skills they choose to focus on.
Students with no acting background or experiences have auditioned for and have been selected to be part of the DEP, becoming unique and skilled performers over two years of training.
