The Year 9 & 10 Drama course is an opportunity for students to use their imagination and turn it into action within our Drama space. It includes improvisational games and developing group and Individual performances; exploring mime and physical effort actions; approaches to using voice effectively and interpreting scripts for workshops and performances. Students will learn about the various Elements of Drama and learn how to utilise them in performance. They will also keep a logbook as they develop their performance. Much of the course is practical and students have lots of fun.
