This subject is an introduction to VCE Drama and Theatre Studies. In the first term, you will use stimulus to write, develop and perform your own ensemble production. In the second term you will read a script, research, develop, rehearse and apply stagecraft such as Lighting, Sound, Costume, Makeup, Promotion, Props and Set Design to produce a performance for an outside class audience. 

What will I do in class?

You will conduct research, work on scriptwriting  and script editing trial ideas, promote your show, rehearse and perform. You will also attend some outside class rehearsals 

Brief description of that what classes look like (lectures / lots of discussion / silent individual research / pracs…?)

How do I satisfactorily complete the unit?

You will be assessed on your participation and completion of a written / multimedia research task,  a folio demonstrating your ideas and work in Acting, Direction, Set, Costume, Props, Makeup or Promotion and a written / multimedia reflection task.
