​These weekly acting classes will take your performance skills to the next level. Our workshops are designed to help budding young actors explore acting and theatre practices. Learn about the elements of drama, performance styles, acting techniques and script analysis. Through rehearsals and performances create truthful 3-dimensional characters and learn how to hold an audience’s attention.

Term 1 will focus on skill development with an opportunity to implement these skills into practice at the end of term 2.

Below are some of the Australian Curriculum Band Descriptions for Drama 9-10 which we have used as guidelines to create our programme.

• refine and extend their understanding and use of role, character, relationships and situation

• extend the use of voice and movement to sustain belief in character

• maintain focus and manipulate space and time, language, ideas and dramatic action

• experiment with mood and atmosphere, use devices such as contrast, juxtaposition and dramatic symbol and modify production elements to suit different audiences

• evaluate the actors’ success in expressing the directors’ intentions and the use of expressive skills in drama they view and perform

• maintain safety in drama and in interaction with other actors

• build on their understanding from previous bands of the roles of artists and audiences as they engage with more diverse performances.
