Drama 101
This interesting and exciting course extends the student's academic knowledge and practical skills. Through exploring various scripts students will deepen their understanding of Theatre Aotearoa and will delve into more complex acting techniques. Working collaboratively remains a focus as we devise our own performances and work together to put on full class production. Being actively involved in the rehearsal and creation processes are integral to your success in this subject. Students with a drive to succeed are to be encouraged to follow their passion and select this course.
Thoroughly preparing, rehearsing and then performing before a public audience is a requirement of the course.
Drama is both a practical and an academic subject, which continues through to Scholarship and University level.
If you are interested in performance and expressing yourself in a practical way, this could be the subject for you.
