This year-long course offers 12th grade students the opportunity to gain an Honors credit by exploring the art of theatre in theory and practice.
Theater 2 is addressed to students who want to be actively engaged in theater-making. They will take part in creating from scratch a full scale theater production staged in the ACS Theater in December and they will pursue independent work by taking part in a short performance of their choice (Independent Project). They will also develop a director’s portfolio and keep a daily journal of reflections. Theory will address contemporary trends of theater. Participation in theater trips and after school rehearsals is an essential part of the course.
IB students will have additional research and written tasks: A Research Presentation, a Collaborative Theater Project Portfolio, a Director’s notebook and a Solo Theater Piece (HL only).
Components Used for IB Prediction: IB predictions are based on the Research Presentation, completed in October of the second year and the Collaborative Theater Project, completed in February.
*Assessment is aligned with the IBO course assessment requirements.
