The SACSA Framework

The SACSA Framework categorises Drama under Arts.

Arts is a collective term, with the five main art forms being dance, drama, media, music and visual arts.

The Framework states (in part):

'Learning in arts engages children and students in satisfying, lifelong involvement and pleasure.

The richness of meaning expressed in arts work serves both to generate intellectual rigour and demonstrate a sense of self worth in individuals and communities.

The Arts provide a means by which learners can explain, reflect, understand and critique society and imagine better worlds.

They develop non-literal languages and discover subtle ways of communicating through metaphor and innuendo.

Such learning engages their intellect and creativity; enables them to become active, creative problem-solvers; and offers opportunities to access alternative modes of thinking and feeling that are specific to each arts form.'
