This course requires students to experiment individually and collaboratively with forms
and conventions of both drama and theatre from various cultures and time periods.
Students will interpret dramatic literature and other texts and media sources while learning
about various theories of directing and acting. Students will examine the significance
of dramatic arts in various cultures, and will analyse how the knowledge and skills
developed in drama are related to their personal skills, social awareness, and goals
beyond secondary school.
