• • Elaboration comparing the expectations and requirements of performers and audience in a range of cultural settings, such as cultural settings in Australia and Asia, and applying this learning in their own performances; for example, identifying how the audience and performers interact and what knowledge the audience needs to have about the drama
• • Elaboration reflecting on live or recorded drama performances and asking questions such as “What is the purpose of this drama?”, “What features and ideas in the drama come from other cultures, times and places?”, “How could we use these ideas in our drama?”, “Why do you think people from diverse cultures create drama for similar purposes?”
• • Elaboration examining drama in their community and comparing it to other drama of different people, times and cultures; for example, exploring examples of puppetry and/or physical (movement-based) theatre in their communities and comparing this with examples of those forms from other cultures, times or places
• • Elaboration reflecting on and sharing ideas with others about the meaning and intended purposes of their own drama; for example, sharing embodied responses using movement, gesture or language
