Course Descriptions
Course Description Drama I: This course is an introduction to the theatre and to performance for beginning students and for students who want to sharpen their basic theatre skills. The class uses a variety of exercises to isolate and develop each of the actor’s physical and interpretive “tools”. Class projects include pantomime, improvisation, small scenes, and one-act plays.
Course Description Drama II: Emphasis in Drama II is on preparation of one-act and full-length plays for classroom presentation and study of period acting styles, stage directions, and production techniques. Students will receive ample opportunity to hone their individual acting skills.
Course Description Advanced Drama: This course emphasizes the production of one-act and full-length plays for presentation to the public. Students will know the jobs of all members of a production company theoretically as well as from practical experience. Students will continue to survey theatre history. It is an activity-centered course and will require participation outside of class. *Students who repeat this course participate in new standards aligned tasks designed to build upon the knowledge and skills from the previous year.
