Year 13 Drama requires a high level of skill in both written and performance work, building on the student’s practical and theoretical knowledge. At Level 3, students take greater responsibility in the planning, organisation and shaping of material through a process of negotiation, communication, analyses and evaluation. There is an emphasis on performance technique, including participation in a major production. Achievement Standard 90609 introduces solo performance into the curriculum.
Students are expected to keep a drama journal which provides essential supplementary evidence. Students are also expected to attend several live theatre performances during the year. These visits provide opportunities for students to watch and evaluate live performance and to reflect on the power of effectiveness of theatre in society.
Achievement Standard 90611 (Major Production) is assessed in the evening. Students play a significant role in the creation, preparation and performance of this drama event before an audience, taking on either a production or performance role.
