Level 2 Drama
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms L. Wilson
What will I learn and how will I learn?
This course focusses on building upon the skills students have learned in Level 1 Drama. They will work together with their classmates to create original pieces of theatre using elements, conventions and techniques creatively and purposefully. They will develop their voice, body, movement and use of space techniques in order to enhance their character’s authenticity and create a strong performance. These will prepare them for NCEA assessments. Students will learn how to develop their devising techniques to create impact, how to interpret a character - their backstory, intention, posture, and apply it in a scripted performance and be able to work as part of an ensemble.
Submitting Internal Assessments
All assessments are done in groups and are "live". Some written work will be required and is due on the day of the performance, unless otherwise stated by the Teacher in Charge. There is one written external paper.
Resubmission and Further Assessment Opportunities
Resubmissions can only be offered once and only if the whole group are willing. There is no further teaching available. Further assessment opportunities are not available.
NOTE: Course is subject to change with the review of standards at the end of each year.
