Content:

In Drama, students explore and depict real and fictional worlds through use of body language, voice, gesture, space and staging to make meaning. Students create, rehearse, perform and respond using the elements and conventions of drama and emerging and existing technologies available to them. They consider drama from a diverse range of styles, traditions and contexts from the viewpoint of maker, performer and audience.

Students make informed critical judgements about their own creative and performance skills and the dramatic works they interpret as artists and as audiences. They think about where, how and why drama takes place and the elements, skills and processes involved in the ideation, creation, performance, interpretation and appreciation of drama.

Assessment:

Students’ performance will be determined according to the subject’s Achievement Standards as outlined in the framework of the Australian Curriculum. Grades A to E will be used for reporting purposes.
