Creativity, confidence and connection
At Marymount, every student experiences the Performing Arts. Through music, dance and theatre, students develop confidence, creativity, collaboration and self-expression while gaining a deeper understanding of cultures, communities and the world around them. The Performing Arts are not reserved for a select few. They are an essential part of a Marymount education, helping every student discover their voice, build lifelong skills and develop as confident global citizens.
Why Performing Arts?
The Performing Arts are about far more than performance.
Through music, dance and theatre students learn to communicate, collaborate, think creatively and engage with different cultures and perspectives. They develop resilience, confidence and the ability to express ideas while building skills that support success across all areas of life.
At Marymount, every student participates in the performing arts because these experiences help students understand themselves, understand others and understand the role creativity plays in society.
Global perspectives through the Arts
Students explore artistic traditions and performance styles from around the world.
Examples include:
- Japanese Kabuki Theatre
- British Punch and Judy
- Italian Commedia dell’Arte
- International dance traditions
- Contemporary performance practice
Students learn how artists respond to society and how the arts help us understand cultures, histories and communities.
