Head of Drama, Dulwich Int. High School Programme Suzhou

About Role

Drama at DHSZ consists of a compulsory curriculum for all students and also a vibrant co-curricular community.  We are looking for a skilled, passionate, and collaborative educator who understands the role of drama as a valuable creative discipline and with an essential role in developing skills that support students at university and in life.   We particularly value fostering communication, confidence, creativity, and collaboration.  The postholder needs to be confident delivering lessons in English whilst drawing from student’s own personal experience and cultural identity.
As Head of Drama, the postholder should be enthusiastic about going above and beyond for students, particularly when it comes to co-curricular involvement.  They are responsible for shaping every aspect of productions, promoting student leadership and agency.  Based on the interests and skills of both the postholder and students, these will include a Chinese drama production, a play, or musical theatre.  Our facilities include a Black Box and access to three theatre spaces; our gym converts into a performance space for whole-school events.
