Donovan Catholic Performing Arts Department has a goal to empower students to develop creative and critical thinking, social-emotional competencies, and intellectual and expressive abilities that will allow them to become active, contributing members of a global society. As art forms, theatre, band, choir, dance, and film seek to explore and comprehend the human condition. We encourage and support creativity, curiosity, intellectual and aesthetic development, invention and innovation in the pursuit of understanding. Our program offers high impact learning practices that cultivate creativity, critical thinking, communication skills, and collaboration within and outside the program and delivers a rigorous academic and problem focused environment that seeks to produce work that challenges the mind, engages the heart and delights the senses. In all areas of emphasis, we strive to provide all students with opportunities to experience live theatre, participate in orchestration, hear their voice in choir, express themselves through dance, critique and understand films, and to put classroom learning into practical application.
