Year 9 Drama

Students collaborate on a group production, managing both on and off-stage roles, while refining voice, movement, and spatial dynamics. Students explore slapstick comedy by collaborating to produce small group performances. Students also critically analyse drama, exploring its meanings, forms, and social influences by viewing a range of performances.
