Year 10 Dance-Drama - Semester
Course Description
Head of Faculty - Kaihautuu: Mrs V. Moore-Allen.
Year 10 Dance-Drama is a semester course that provides students the opportunity to develop their skills in both Drama and Dance. It is suited to ākonga of all abilities. Students can continue their learning in both Dance and Drama, or can choose to major in one subject and minor in the other.
Please note: that the best foundation courses for NCEA Level 1 Dance or Drama in Year 11 are the full year course options. However some students may need to take this Semester combination course to accommodate their other timetabled option choices.
The course is ideal for students who are creative, enjoy performing, group work, and enjoy learning by being in action. Students will build relationships with their classmates through collaborative group work, and participate in a variety of performance opportunities. Students will work individually, in small groups and as a whole class while they learn about and explore ideas through Dance and Drama.
Course content will focus these dimensions:
* Drama conventions and performance skills, study of a theatre form, leading to students devising and performing original drama in response to a given idea.
* Dance conventions and performance skills, learning a dance from a choice of styles, leading to students creating their own choreography and performance.
Students who are more interested in one of these subjects (that is, either Dance or Drama) will be able to focus on their main interest once they have covered the foundational elements of the course. Students will collaborate to create original pieces of Dance-Drama, performing creative projects by the end of the semester.
Assessments are practical, with a small written component to accompany each assessment. Assessments are practical, with a small written component to accompany each assessment.
