Subject Description
This exciting subject allows students to experience their chosen area of Performing Arts within a performance context. It is possible for students to choose this subject and work as part of an offstage role rather than onstage performance (eg. makeup and hair, costuming, music pit orchestra, set design, publicity/promotion, lighting/sound).
Students work with both Drama and Music specialist staff on a musical script to be publicly performed at The Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre.
Students must commit to some out of hours rehearsals leading up to the performance.
By the end of this course, students will have contributed to a major production in a world class theatre. Group work skills, collaboration and connectedness are all developed as part of being a team member for this production.
- Contribution to the ensemble performance.
- Textual analysis and reflection.
- Theatrical/musical terminology.
- Stage 1 Drama
- Stage 1 Dance
- Stage 1 Music (depending upon student's specialisation in the performance)
