year 9 drama
Welcome to Year 9 Drama at John McGlashan College.
Be prepared for a creative journey through the arts...exploring not only the basics of drama, but exploring the realms of media and technology, theatre and film genres, music, and improvisation.
Year 9 Drama is a term-long course... and we focus on three main areas during this time.
We begin with a quick recap of our core drama skills (warm-ups, voice skills, and movement/body skills) and then move into our first unit, which focuses on movement/music/dance in the form of Lip Syncing. You will choose a popular song to act out the actions/movements for - just like Lip Sync Battle on TV.
We will explore one of the most loved stage musicals of all time... "West Side Story". We will view the opening scenes of the award winning film, view parodies of the story, explore a scene from the script, and perform it in front of the class for assessment.
