Year 10 Drama
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms B. Cannan.
The year’s work will centre on drama creation, studies and performance and will provide a foundation for NCEA Drama in Years 11 to 13. Students will develop skills around improvisation, acting techniques, theatrical forms and genres as well as applying the elements and conventions of drama through their own devised work. They may use text, music, images, props and costumes as ways of creating impactful theatre and will develop their ability to reflect on their own progress as well as feedback constructively on the work of others.
There is an emphasis on group work and strong attendance is required to ensure individual and group success.
