Performing Arts
Performing arts at George School—theater, music, and dance—will entertain you (and your audience) but they'll also let you probe the real world and imagine new ones.
The instructors will be inventive and their lessons unexpected. Your dance teacher will lower inhibitions by tumbling on the floor herself. Your theater teacher will encourage you to study the character traits of your classmates. But these creative geniuses will have you, in short order, trying on different faces, hitting high notes, and flying through the air. (Perhaps more in stage combat than Orchestra. But you never know.)
Arts classes in the International Baccalaureate Program are more accelerated and world-focused. You'll explore Chekhov or Gesamtkunstwerk, African drumming or Balinese gamelan.
And in performing arts—no surprise—you'll perform. Play jazz on the stage. Dance your own choreography in Walton Auditorium. Do everything (audition, act, sing, design lighting and sets, take curtain calls…) in our Musical Theater course.
If past performances are any sign, you'll want to stake out good seats for what's coming up.
