Level 1 Drama

Course Description 

Drama offers students the ability to explore life from a variety of different perspectives. This course provides a balance of theoretical learning and practical performance, and students will be actively encouraged to participate in wider drama activities, both in and outside of school.

During the year the students will explore Aotearoa playwrights, create a drama, use techniques in a scripted role and respond to a  drama performance.
