INFORMATION
ADA4M1
This course requires students to experiment individually and collaboratively with forms and conventions of both
drama and theatre from various cultures and time periods. Students will interpret dramatic literature and other texts
and media sources while learning about various theories of directing and acting. Students will examine the
significance of dramatic arts in various cultures, and will analyze how the knowledge and skills developed in drama
are related to their personal skills, social awareness, and goals beyond secondary school.
This course also engages students in active learning. They apply their theory and knowledge in genuine theatrical
contexts by working as actors, playwrights, and discerning audience members. The intent of the course is to make
learning experiential to the greatest extent possible, while meeting the academic demands presented by the
expectations and suitable for the university/college destinations of students taking the course.
