Students learn about the history of Theatre Aotearoa, planting their own performances in the society they live in. Literacy skills are built on to develop performers who can create their own work, pulling on their whakapapa and the life experiences of themselves and those around them. Students must be prepared to work both on the stage and in support of those on the stage in directing and technical roles of the theatre.
