JUNIOR DRAMA - JOURNAL WORK
There will be journal work for some of your drama units – which you will be required to complete to support practical work in class. Evidence such as character work, direction notes, setting ideas, and costume sketches for example. You will be required to complete a drama journal entry and notes on drama exercises during some of your classes.
Welcome to Junior Drama at JMC!
Drama is the expression of ideas, feelings, and human experience through movement, sound, visual image and the realisation of role. In Drama, real or imagined actions and events are enacted by placing a role in a setting of time and space, where action and tension create a focus. These dramatic elements combine with contrasts between movement and stillness, sound, and silence, darkness and light to communicate meaning in drama.
Drama permeates our everyday lives and serves a variety of purposes. It enables us to understand ourselves, the people around us, and the world in which we live, enriching the lives of individuals and giving voice to communities.
In Drama you will participate in:
Process Drama – which is not intended for an audience. You will learn more about yourself and others by experiencing and building belief in a variety of roles and situations. You will explore these with others through negotiating, interpreting and reflecting on role and meaning.
Performance Drama – which is intended for an audience. This may be your classmates, other classes, or an invited audience. You will experience performing and learn about how to be an effective audience member, through interpreting meanings and developing skills of critical judgement.
Journal Work – Although your performance work is mostly what counts for your formative and summative assessments during the year, I do expect you to keep a working journal / portfolio during your drama course. You are to record journal entries at the end of classes (when instructed) and document the process of each of your drama units of work.
Keep your journal tidy – it is important that everything is properly labelled and filed away for easy access – including any handouts you receive during class.
