improvise and/or devise and shape drama using the elements of drama to communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning

Elaborations

• 1 using learning from explorations of drama that communicate First Nations Australians’ connection to and responsibility for Country/Place to devise drama that communicates their own connection to and responsibility for place; for example, devising drama that communicates their feelings about a “favourite” place or shows how they care for a place in their community
• 2 creating drama by exploring and experiencing a range of roles and situations that they initiate and develop; for example, exploring roles and situations in a “miniature world”
• 3 improvising drama to explore issues and ideas, considering how empathy can assist them to take on roles, accept situations and “stand in the shoes” of another; for example, comparing their own and their peers’ responses to “everyday” interactions or imagining themselves as participants in an event that is happening or happened in another time or place
• 4 devising dialogue for a previously “wordless story” or devising dramatic action/movement for a story they know only through spoken (audio) sources
• 5 using the elements of drama and the principles of story to shape improvisations to communicate their intentions as drama makers; for example, establishing time and place, and the roles and characters in the drama
• 6 working in groups to devise sections of a drama (for example, using process drama strategies) and then, working as a class, using a guided play-building process to combine the sections
• 7 communicating with an audience their connection to and responsibility for Country/Place by Acknowledging Country before a performance or presentation, taking care to observe protocols and using resources created or co-created by First Nations Australians, and/or by participating with Elders in a Welcome to Country (as appropriate)
