Year 11 Drama
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Miss E. Shepherd.
This course is ideal for students who enjoy communicating, expressing and sharing stories. Ākonga will become a range of characters and investigate different theatrical styles. They devise original theatre and participate in workshops from guest tutors. Students develop confidence. We explore the reciprocal relationship between audience and performer through practical performance and attending live theatre shows.
Topics include:
- Perform short scenes from theatre in New Zealand.
- Devise original theatre.
- Explore different theatrical styles (e.g. Melodrama, Realism, Elizabethan Theatre...)
- Collaborate for a class play.
Please note:
Students who wish to study Drama must understand that is a performance based course. Although there is opportunity to study Unit Standards in the Performing Arts Technology matrix (costume, makeup, set/prop design, stage management, lighting etc)... it is predominately designed for those who love to strut their stuff on the stage and develop confidence through performance.
