Preparing for Senior Drama

Electing to study Drama as part of your senior schooling is a great choice! It is a subject where you will learn about yourself, about the world you live in and how to express different ideas about society.

To prepare for Preliminary studies, you will need to make sure you know about the following:

 Elements of Drama  Elements of Production  Breaking down a script  Developing characters  Various theatrical styles and techniques  Developing a directorial concept  Writing about theatrical concepts and styles

If you are new to Drama, that’s okay! This Bridging Course has been designed to revise all of the key skills and concepts that you will need in order to succeed next year. It is vital that you approach this course with a positive and productive attitude in order to gain all that you can from it.

As well has covering essential skills, this course also follows a similar structure to what you will experience in Year 11. Over the four week Bridging Course you will work as a group to read and stage parts of a play and learn about the development of the Australian theatre industry over the last century and how it has adapted to suit societal changes.

Drama lessons can be different to many of your other lessons. At any point in time you might be working with partner, participating in a huge group workshop, viewing a performance, staging a script, improvising a scene or writing about what you have done.

For each lesson, you will need:

 A workbook/logbook  Your copy of this student booklet  A positive attitude  Pens  Copy of the script you are working on  Willingness to participate in all practical workshops and discussions
