Content: Performing Arts is the expression and exploration of personal, cultural and social worlds through role and situation that engages, entertains and challenges. Students create meaning as drama makers, performers and audiences as they enjoy and analyze their own and others’ stories and points of view. Like all art forms, Performing Arts has the capacity to engage, inspire and enrich all students, excite the imagination and encourage students to reach their creative and expressive potential.
Performing Arts enables students to imagine and participate in exploration of their worlds, individually and collaboratively. Students actively use body, gesture, movement, voice and language, taking on roles to explore and depict real and imagined worlds.
They create, rehearse, perform and respond using the elements and conventions of drama and emerging and existing technologies available to them.
Students develop a sense of inquiry and empathy by exploring the diversity of drama in the contemporary world and in other times, traditions, places and cultures.
Assessment: Students are assessed using the Australian Curriculum Achievement Standards.
