Year 11 Drama - Acting Up

This is a full year course and counts as two option course selections.

Students will develop skills in;

• acting
• devising for theatre
• stage craft
• use of theatre technologies such as costume, lighting, props and set design
• performing in a class production

The theatre form of Melodrama will be explored in some depth. This will be assessed through a group performance involving stock characters belonging to the theatre form.

The course builds on skills developed through the exploration of Commedia del Arte in Year 10. However, students do not have to have taken Drama at Year 10 to gain entry to this course.

• Well-developed collaborative skills are required as there is significant teamwork involved in this course. 
• Students will need to be able to perform in front of an audience.
• Due to the focus on group work, a good attendance record is recommended as a prerequisite for entry.
