Drama is a vibrant and varied art form. It is one of the oldest art forms and part of our everyday life. The Drama course focuses on aesthetic understanding and drama in practice as you integrate your knowledge and skills. You use the elements and conventions of drama; you engage in drama processes which allow you to create original drama and interpret a range of texts written or devised by others. Your work in this course includes production and design aspects involving sets, costumes, makeup, props, promotional materials, stage management, front-of-house activities, and sound and lighting. Increasingly, students use new technologies such as digital sound and multi- media. Students present drama to a range of audiences and work in different performance settings.

Students work independently and collaboratively, learning time management skills, showing initiative, and demonstrating leadership and interpersonal skills. Drama requires you to develop and practise problem-solving skills through creative and analytical thinking processes. In this course, students engage in both Australia and world drama practice.
