Drama update

Year 7 Drama

During remote learning, Year 7 students created their very own hand puppets. They responded to different stimuli about current issues that our society faces and devised and filmed a puppet show at home. Students were encouraged to develop interesting and unique characters by manipulating their voices and their puppets.

VCE Drama Unit 2 Devised Solo Performances – Australian Identity 

The VCE Unit 2 Drama class presented their Devised Solo Performances for assessment on Thursday 28 October in the School Hall. 

Using Australian as an inspiration, the students were provided with numerous Prescribed Structures based on a person, an event, an issue, a place, an artwork, or an icon from Australian life to select for their devised solo performance. 

Jazi H created a solo performance based upon the life and times of Florence Broadhurst and Eliza H created a solo performance based upon the novel, The Castlemaine murders: a Phryne Fisher mystery. 

Both students began the playmaking process of brainstorming, researching, improvising and scripting these performances early in Term 3 and despite numerous COVID related set-backs, were very pleased to finally present their pieces for filming. 

Congratulations, girls!
