DRAMA: THEATRE PRODUCTION
YEAR 10
This unit seeks to give students the process of producing and performing in a theatre play. The students will be involved in collaboration and communication in regard to the play selection through researching, discussing, and analysing a number of appropriate plays. They will read, audition, analyse, and develop character roles for performance. They will also undertake production roles and be responsible for the play from its conception to the end of the performance. They will also understand the importance of advocacy and promoting their work within the school and wider community.
DRAMA: IMPROVISATION NOW
YEAR 10
Students will gain improvisation skills and techniques to devise, rehearse and present an Improvisation Performance using contexts and formats made popular such as “Thank God You are Here” and “Whose Line is It Anyway?” with the intention of performing it to a live audience. Students will study Theatre Sports to improve their ability to spontaneously improvise and maintain performance focus. Through analysing Comedy students are able to appreciate the skills and techniques that help create comedy and learn to employ these skills in the creation of the improvised performance work.
