Drama

Year 10

What is the subject about?

In Year 10 Drama, students explore creating their own devised pieces and examining scripted works to understand how to effectively stage performance material. This involves learning how to convey roles and characters within a range of dramatic forms and performance styles. Students will develop their expressive skills and learn how to use design elements to make deliberate artistic choices. They will engage in regular reflection to understand how they can use the elements of drama to convey meaning, establish appropriate contexts, subtext and narrative structures, and create aesthetically interesting performance material. They will perform and present their dramas in formal and informal settings and document their processes in a Drama Journal.
