Year 10 Performing Arts

Students who choose Performing Arts in year 10 will experience a blend of the Music, Dance and Drama curricula which all cover the strands: Explore and Express Ideas, Performing Arts Practices, Present and Perform, and Respond and Interpret.

This subject will be particularly valuable for students that aspire to career pathways which require public speaking. Students will strengthen their ability to innovate and collaborate to produce a work that will elicit a specific response in a target audience.

Each student will learn how to manipulate the elements of Music, Dance, and Drama to create a collaborative performance in a specific style that is consistent with their expressive intent. They will analyse works from other cultures and comment on both the emotional impact of the work, and the expressive intent of each work.

Students will learn to compose and notate music, design choreography and will collaborate to create or realise a pre-written script. They will then have the opportunity to specialise in the modality of their choice for an end of semester performance.
