Course
Descriptions:
6th Grade Drama
This course is a 6 week
exploratory course. Students will learn basic theatre vocabulary,
and skills in movement and vocalization.
7th Grade
Drama
A One Semester Class in which students will build on skills
learned in 6th grade. Emphasis will be on ensemble building through
improvisation and movement games. Students will continue to work on
vocalization and will be introduced to musical theatre, including
songs and dance. One evening performance is part of class
grade.
8th/9th Grade
Drama
A One Semester class in which students will continue to develop
acting skills. Movement and pantomime will be expanded upon.
Improvisational games will strengthen ensemble work. Students will
develop vocal skills in different styles of acting. Since students
are able to take drama for a full year in both
8th and
9th grades, those who take drama
continuously will learn a broader scope of skills and gain more
experience acting. Students will attend a professional play during
the semester to gain an understanding of skills they are working on
in class (see details under “Events”). One evening
performance is part of the class grade.
9th
graders may take Intermediate Drama if they have taken drama in 8th
grade.
This
course fulfills an ARTS credit toward graduation for 9th
graders.
Acting for Film
A one semester class for
8th and
9thGraders in which students will
learn to act for thecamera. It is not necessary to take Drama
Classes prior to Acting for Film Classes. Basic film acting skills
will be taught and students will film each other in the acting
process. Be mindful that this is primarily an acting class - not a
production class. 2 film projects
