Level 2 Drama
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms B. Cannan.
Level 2 Drama allows students to develop their understanding and applications of drama techniques and conventions through a variety of practical assessments. Students will be exploring text and sub-text, interpreting dramatic meaning through the use of acting techniques, and investigating drama from a particular time period or genre. They will study the Commedia dell 'Arte theatre form.
As part of the Drama student’s external Drama Achievement standard, they are to view professional live theatre. In this course, students will view at least one live show a year. This is usually during school time and will cost approximately $30.
There is an emphasis on group work and strong attendance is required to ensure individual and group success.
The standards offered in this course may be altered at the discretion of the Head of Department.
