What is this Subject?

The study of Drama focuses on the creation and performance of characters, narratives and stories. Students draw on a range of content and use role and expressive skills to create, embody and present dramatic works.  At the VCE level, Drama studies focus on non-naturalistic conventions and devised work.  Students analyse the development of their own performances and explore the actor–audience relationship, while developing an understanding of dramatic elements, stagecraft and theatrical conventions appropriate to performance styles from a range of contexts. They view and analyse professional performances, as well as the work of prominent drama practitioners.
