Drama 201

This course is for motivated and dedicated students. The work covered in Drama 101 is extended and further develops acting technique and critical thinking skills. Students will be invited to explore different production roles as they develop their performance practice. They will learn the skills associated with a theatre form, work collaboratively and creatively to create an original drama, and participate in a full class production. There is a written component to the course to help you critically reflect on your work and support the development of your performance skills. 

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.
