Content
In stage 2 Drama: you will continue to develop and apply your skills in creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. Through attending a range of incursions/excursions, as well as workshops run by industry professionals, and exploring a variety of play scripts and films, you will make links between live theatre productions and your own practice as an actor, director, filmmaker, or designer. Completing focused practicals and theoretical studies (written), you will collaborate with peers to make valuable and viable dramatic products for real audiences, analysing and evaluating the artistic processes and products. You will work towards a whole class production (with choice in onstage or offstage roles), where you will apply learning through the class performance to a real-world audience in an authentic theatre space. Through completing the assessments in stage 2 Drama you will have sharpened your analysis, evaluation, and creativity skills as an authentic drama practitioner.
