Drama is a 2 unit course for each of Preliminary (Year 11) and HSC (Year 12). This is a Board Developed course.
Exclusions: projects developed for assessment in one subject are not to be used either in full or in part for assessment in any other subject
Students in Drama study the practices of Making, Performing and Critically Studying. Students engage with these components through collaborative and individual experiences.
Preliminary Course
Content comprises an interaction between the components of Improvisation, Play building and Acting, Elements of Production in Performance and Theatrical Traditions and Performance Styles. Learning comes from practical experiences in each of these areas.
HSC Course
Australian Drama and Theatre and Studies in Drama and Theatre involve the theoretical study through practical exploration of themes, issues, styles and movements of traditions of theatre, exploring relevant acting techniques, performance styles and spaces. The Group Performance (3-6 students) involves creating a piece of original theatre (8–12 minutes duration). It provides opportunity for each student to demonstrate his or her performance skills. For the Individual Project, students demonstrate their expertise in a particular area. They choose one project from Critical Analysis or Design or Performance or Script-writing or Video Drama.
