Content: This course aims to build self-confidence, focus, and group interaction dynamics by engaging students in activities such as physical theatre, characterisation, improvisation, appropriate audience behavior, and reflective criticism. Skills are enhanced through a variety of dramatic games, scene creation, writing and research exercises, working with performance technology, performance participation, and review.
Students will be required to complete a limited amount of theory work both in class and for Independent Study. They will learn about at least one form or style of drama, with the majority of each lesson being practical. There could be an element of collaboration with Media Arts.
Assessment: Students are assessed using the Australian Curriculum Achievement Standards.
