Level Three Drama
This course continues to develop students’ dramatic performance skills and knowledge of drama practices and practitioners. It covers the following areas of study: drama techniques (voice, body awareness, space and movement), scripted and devised drama studies and developing knowledge of a drama/theatre form.
Students will be working in small groups throughout the year. The course suits students who have a strong interest in drama and theatre, and requires a high level of self-discipline and commitment. Students must be able to contribute to and participate effectively in group work, and have the ability to consistently maintain focus on set tasks.
