Level 2 Drama (2DRA)
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs L. Simpson.
Level 2 Drama is a full NCEA course. This course builds experience and skills for those with a passion for acting and developing performance work. It continues to have a strong practical focus. Students engage with more challenging texts to develop their acting skills, devise drama based on an historic event, perform in a class production for an invited audience and explore non-realistic theatre forms such as Epic theatre. Students taking this course will also have the opportunity to see live professional theatre. Learning in Level 2 Drama compliments learning in English, Social studies and History, Classics, Health and Media studies as well as the other visual and performing arts. This course is creative, challenging and satisfying. Students will be expected to rehearse and perform out of school time for some assessments.
