Description:

This year-long course offers 11th grade students the opportunity to gain an Honors credit by exploring the art of theatre in theory and practice. Students will explore at least three different theater traditions ranging from Greek Theater, Theater in the World and Western-style Realistic acting. They will also take part in several small scale productions/presentations as actors, directors or designers.

They will read texts by Sophocles, Chekhov, Ibsen, Stanislavski amongst others, and they will need to keep a journal of reflections. Participation in theater trips and occasional after school rehearsals is an essential part of experiential learning in the course.

IB students will have additional research and written tasks.
