EXPRESSIVE ARTS YEAR 9 – DRAMA

Pupils will be expected to recognise, evaluate and extend the skills and techniques they have developed through drama in previous years.

Use a range of drama techniques, including working in role, to explore issues, ideas and meanings e.g. by playing out hypotheses, by changing perspectives

Develop and compare different interpretations of scenes and plays by dramatists.

Convey action, character, atmosphere and tension when scripting and performing plays

Write critical evaluations of performances they have seen or in which they have participated, identifying the contributions of the director and actors
.

YEAR 9 DRAMA AND DANCE
 

This course is designed to mirror Expressive Arts at GCSE in order to enable pupils to make an informed selection when choosing subjects in Year 10. This integrates dance/ verbal arts and drama in a performance and requires written critical analysis/ evaluation of the pupil’s own work and that of others.
