Level 3 Drama
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms B. Cannan.
In Level 3 Drama, students will interpret a diverse range of scripted drama and devise their own pieces for performance. Students view and reflect on the effectiveness of live theatre, will analyse classical and contemporary drama scripts and adapt the conventions of Absurdist theatre to their own stagecraft. They will also research and apply the theories of drama practitioners such as Stanislavski.
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.
