Learning in Drama involves students making, performing, analysing and responding to drama, drawing on human experience as a source of ideas. Students engage with the knowledge of drama, develop skills, techniques and processes, and use materials as they explore a range of forms, styles and contexts.
Using the elements of drama including role, character and relationships, situation, voice and movement, space and time, focus, tension, language, ideas and dramatic meaning, mood and atmosphere and symbol, students create and perform their own dramatic artworks.
Responding to Drama involves students being audience members and listening to, enjoying, reflecting on, analysing, appreciating and evaluating their own and others’ dramatic works.
SASSVI students enjoy regular trips to local theatre productions utilising Audio Description, Touch Tours and other accessibility services.
DreamBig Children's Festival, Windmill Theatre Company, Patch Theatre, and Slingsby work alongside Access to Arts to ensure their productions are accessible for audiences with diverse access needs.
Audio Description is a form of vocal narration used to provide information surrounding key visual elements in an event or experience for the benefit of people who are blind or vision impaired. Traditionally audio description is provided upon request via an ear bud.
