Drama 5-6

Drama 5-6 continues the application of the play direction techniques introduced in Drama 4. Students are expected to select a semester project and carry it to culmination in presentation and evaluation by an audience.  In addition, students are expected to perform in scenes from classic, modern British, and modern American dramatic literature, as well as to research a selected topic. Students are also expected to develop a prompt book which demonstrates an increased attention to detail, steady improvement in basic techniques, and heightened creativity. Also elements of theater management will be covered. 

Drama 6 is a course in which students explore advanced methods and techniques of acting, interpretation, and direction. Students are expected to participate in classroom scenes. Students are expected to research an individually selected topic. Costuming and makeup are also to be covered in this course. This is essentially a director's laboratory/workshop and a performance class with scenes and projects. Drama may be applied to the Fine Arts requirement but not the English requirement. This course has been approved to meet the UC "f" or “g” requirement
