Elaborations

  • • presenting and performing devised or scripted drama created in a shared process with community members, taking care to adhere to protocols such as recognising ownership of material by a collective or cultural group rather than by an individual
  • • performing on stage or in class in a sustained presentation
  • • reflecting on and evaluating how successfully their intentions/purposes, clear action and meaning, and effects were achieved in context, through use of the elements, conventions, performance skills and design, and what can be learnt from this for future dramatic practice

Year 9 ASARTDRAY910
Year 9 The Arts Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 10, students analyse how and why the elements of drama, performance skills and/or conventions are manipulated in drama they create, perform and/or experience. They evaluate how drama in a range of styles and/or from a range of contexts communicates ideas, perspectives and/or meaning. They evaluate how drama is used to celebrate and challenge perspectives of Australian identity. Students work individually and/or collaboratively to shape and manipulate use of the elements of drama, conventions and/or dramatic structures to communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning. They use performance skills relevant to style and/or form to sustain belief, roles and characters in performances of improvised, devised and/or scripted drama for audiences.
