Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs L. Simpson.

Level 1 Drama is a full NCEA course. Drama is the expression of ideas, feelings and experience on stage. Students explore a range of characters and stories in their performance work and have the opportunity to go to the theatre. Students will also participate in a class production. Drama develops self-confidence, creativity and discipline, complimenting learning in English, Social studies and History, Health, and other visual and performing arts. In this practical course students develop their acting and performance skills through playing a role from a script, exploring Theatre Aotearoa, devising their own drama in a group and the study of a live theatre performance. Students will be expected to attend some rehearsals and performances out of class time.
