Understanding and Responding to Drama

In the Understanding and Responding to Drama area of study, students view and engage with drama. Students are encouraged to deepen their knowledge and understanding of contemporary dramatic practice, conventions, and traditions using live, online, and other resources. Resources may be productions or events, including, but not limited to, one or more of: 

• live theatre 
• online theatre 
• film 
• drama teleseries episode 
• online masterclass 
• onsite workshop. 

In Understanding and Responding to Drama, students study at least one dramatic text and at least one dramatic style. The shared study of texts and styles should be led by the teacher and involve a combination of practical, experimental, and theoretical learning opportunities. Through their learning, students explore and experiment with their own actual or hypothetical dramatic outcomes.
