Unit 3: Performance Technique
In this unit pupils will prepare and perform to a public audience of parents, teachers and primary school. Pupils will develop thoughtful characterisations that have depth and purpose, they will have to learn lines, movement and choreography.
Unit 4: Genre and Naturalism
The aim of this unit is to be able to recognise and evaluate the conventions of different genres of theatre. Pupils will use stereotyping to mix conventions and create their own unique genre. Pupils will then look at naturalism and soap-drama to create their own school based soap called ‘ Maidenville School’
