Year 11 Drama ATAR

Drama ATAR

The Drama ATAR course focuses on drama in practice and aesthetic understanding as students integrate their knowledge and skills. They use the elements and conventions of drama to develop and present ideas and explore personal and cultural issues. They engage in drama processes such as improvisation, play building, text interpretation, play-writing and dramaturgy which allow them to create original drama and interpret a range of texts written or devised by others. Their work in this course includes production and design aspects involving sets, costumes, makeup, props, promotional materials, and sound and lighting. Increasingly, students use new technologies such as digital sound and multimedia. They present drama to a range of audiences and work in different performance settings.

Unit 1 - Representational, realist drama

In this unit students will explore techniques of characterisation through different approaches to group based text interpretation, particularly those based on the works of Stanislavski and others.

Unit 2 - Presentational, non-realist drama

In this unit students will explore techniques of role and/or character through different approaches to group based text interpretation, particularly those based on the work of Brecht and others.

Assessments

There are two types of assessment; performance/production and response:

  • Performance/production tasks including practical examinations: 50% | Responses including written examinations: 50%.

Reporting

A brief interim report on class work and behaviour will be issued towards the end of Term 1. The achievement for the unit will be reported as a College A - E grade as well as a percentage mark and a written examination mark. In addition, the student's approach to class work and behaviour will be reported via the usual key performance indicators.

Student expectations

Many lessons are presented as practical workshops. Tasks are rehearsed during class time. A major performance assessment will be held in the evening. Students are expected to continue their characterisation process, in preparation for a performance, at home. Further investigation of texts, including research, is required as homework.
