DRAMA 10, 20 and 30
Drama 10 is an interactive class with a focus on improvisation. Other areas of exploration are: theatre-sports, readers’ theatre, movement, and speech. This fun, but structured, course builds the basic skills of each of these sections. Drama 20 incorporates all the skill areas of Drama 10 and moves into the art of playwriting. Students will write a short one-act play and move through the production process. Technical theatre is also explored at this intermediate level. In Drama 30, students will master all aspects of improvisational theatre, have a sound technical background, and will be creating original scripts. The directing aspect of theatre is a major focus at this level; students will direct a full-length play and perform it in front of an audience.
