PERFORMING ARTS
 

Performing Arts have become an increasingly important part of school life here at Tujatane. The students have an inherent love and passion for dancing and music. By supplementing their academic programme whilst at school with performing arts, we can only help benefit their overall quality of education and individual development.

We have a fantastic drama teacher, Sydney, and a very talented music teacher, Mike, running the performing arts programmes. This includes poetry, choir, traditional dance and drama as well as a music scholars programme for exceptionally talented students.

Each year we compete in national performing arts competitions and we are proud to hold the title for ‘Best traditional dancers in Zambia’ for primary (2009).

The children love to perform for an audience and once a term we put on a play or performance for guests and parents. This year included a fabulous interpretation of ‘Persephone’ the Greek mythological story of the underworld! The play was directed by actress Marie Blount, who came to stay with us for 2 months earlier in the year.
