L1DRA

Level 1 Drama 2025

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Adam Middleton.

Students will, through understanding drama in context, be able to demonstrate awareness that drama serves a variety of purposes in their lives and in their communities. Through developing practical knowledge, they will explore the elements of role, focus, action, tension, time and space through dramatic play. They will contribute and develop ideas in drama, using personal experience and imagination. Students will also share drama through informal and formal presentation and respond to ways in which drama tells stories and conveys ideas in their own work and the work of others.
