Drama is an intellectually engaging intersection of lateral thought and practice allowing students to interrogate the human experience and develop alternative ways of seeing, thinking and doing. Drama enables students to know and observe our world collectively and as individuals: it reveals a sense of who they are and might become as they make connections and new meanings of the world around them and their place in it.
Students learn about elements of drama, performance skills and conventions, and how these are used to shape and communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning. They use drama processes in purposeful and creative ways, engage with the work of drama-makers from diverse contexts and forms, perform drama for audiences, and work individually and collaboratively.
This subject provides a foundation for further studies of Drama in Year 11 and 12. The skills developed may also have application to other subjects.
