Level 2 Drama 2025
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Adam Middleton.
Students will, through understanding drama in context, be able to identify and describe how drama serves a variety of purposes in their lives and in their communities. Through developing practical knowledge, they will explore and use elements of drama for different purposes. They will also develop and sustain ideas in drama, based on personal experience and imagination.
Students will also share drama through informal and formal presentation and respond to elements of drama in their own work and the work of others. These processes are taught through three practical internals and two theoretical external standards. The practical internal standards include New Zealand theatre, Ancient Greek drama and Script Writing.
