Status
:
|
Our high school teachers regularly review course offerings to ensure content reflects current standards and is relevant and applicable. Based on our strong commitment to engage all learners, the following updated courses are being proposed in Visual and Performing Arts: Theatre Arts 1, Theatre Arts 2, and Theatre Arts 3-8.
These courses will provide students with the basics of dramatic performance and literature, as well as exposure to technical theatre. Students will learn the foundations of performance, including pantomime, improvisation, voice, diction, movement, and technical theatre. Students will complete a variety of performance pieces and written assignments that will demonstrate practical and critical thinking skills, and meet performance criteria. These courses will build upon each other, to allow students to produce informal and formal performances that will steadily grow longer and more challenging.
