Course Description

The Drama course provides students with the opportunity to explore and create through performance and design. Students are introduced to new theatrical forms and styles and will have the freedom to participate as actors, as well as directors and designers of lighting, sound, set and costume.

Students will continue to build and expand their dramatic knowledge and demonstrate skills through production and performance, as well as honing transferable skills such as creative problem-solving, collaboration, innovation, flexibility, social skills, self-regulation and leadership.

Students will learn and use contemporary processes, including improvisation and approaches to rehearsal, to select and shape the elements of drama for both devised and scripted works.

In both semesters, students will create performances at a classroom level with opportunities to perform to larger external audiences at different venues if they choose to.
