Recommended Prior Learning
Learners will need to perform in a group in front of the class.
In Year 8 Drama we begin with team-building games and establishing a safe and supportive environment. Learners explore a wide range of topics and learn to structure imagined worlds using drama conventions, techniques and technologies. They work on creating, devising and performing. Alongside these topics the learners will use drama techniques using body, voice, movement and space; and drama elements using role, time, space, place, mood and symbol. Learners will learn improvisation techniques, practice voice work, and increase their confidence when performing. They will also learn a short script and perform an acting role in a dramatic context.
