Course Overview

Students develop their knowledge of the history of theatre during the ancient classical period. They also explore human ritual as a dramatic form. They will develop script writing skills with a view to performing their own works in a class performance and as part of the whole school showcase (e.g., Beyond MAD). Students continue to develop on and off-stage theatre skills.

Assessment

Practical assessment - The successful participation in group exercises, demonstration of a capacity for creative individual expression and the ability to be part of an ensemble.

Keeping a reflective journal, completing a review and a research assignment.

The class performance is a demonstration of student mastery of the theatre and stage skills and knowledge developed over the semester. As such, this is the major assessment focus for this subject.
