DRAMA
Drama aims to develop the intellectual and creative
potential of students through verbal, spatial
and interpersonal experiences. It enables students
to explore, shape and represent their ideas, feelings
and real and imagined events.
The
Drama/Theatre Studies courses have been structured
to provide students with opportunities to develop
in art criticism and aesthetics, enhance collaborative
work and promote self-confidence through analysis
and interpretation of character and situations
in a variety of cultural contexts.
During
this course, students will read, interpret, rehearse
and perform a number of dramatic texts from various
cultural groups; The Classical Greek Theatre,
Elizabethan Drama, Commedia dell Arte, Indonesian
Puppet Theatre Wayang and others.

They will also participate in
a variety of theatre sports, games and narratives to
develop their own work. Students will explore, generate
and express ideas when making and presenting drama,
and develop characters and situations using a range
of dramatic skills, techniques and processes.
The major school productions
incorporated into the Drama programme include an annual
VCE production and a biannual Musical performed in collaboration
with the Sacred Heart Girls College Oakleigh. The Year
11 VCE performance focuses on renowned works of Australian
or foreign playwrights with the intention of promoting
the classic works of the twentieth century theatre literature.
The Performing Arts production presents a wide range
of opportunities for Drama students from junior, middle
and senior schools to participate in a performance with
a strong entertainment focus combining drama, music
and dance.
