12DRA

Year 12 Drama

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms L. Tourelle.

Year 12 is a practical course that builds expressive and performance skills through the exploration of script based work and devised drama. 

There are three performance assessments. Students will make their choices of how they use expressive skills in a scene from a play. They will also be directed in a production where their performance of the role is the focus of the work. Finally, they will also be guided through a devising process that will lead to the creation of an original piece of theatre.

All work is done in pairs or a group, so students are required to be in attendance for 90% of the classes to be eligible for assessment.

 In the external examination, students will discuss a live performance they have seen or participated in during the year. 



Recommended Prior Learning

Drama students need to enjoy group work and have a keen desire to perform. If students are new to Drama as a subject, entry will be at the discretion of the Head of Drama.

Contributions and Equipment/Stationery

Students will attend a theatre performance and have workshops with theatre professionals. ($40)
