DRAMA

The student will explore the craft of acting in an approach that involves exercises, scene work, and theatre games designed to develop performance skills and technique.  Through theatre improvisation games and energy work, students learn to develop creativity and self-expression. Students will explore physical techniques, body awareness and spatial relationships connecting physical and emotional expression for stage.  Students will also survey dramatic literature exploring both modern and classical plays and the actualization of these works from text to stage.  This course will introduce students to the basic principles and structures of dramatic writing through discussion, exercises, and applied process.  Students will also have the opportunity to participate in the spring One-Act Competition and perform an End-of-Year play or musical.
