Content
Topics to be addressed in this unit include: the nature of dramatic language; play- structure and theatrical style; and the ways in which these elements work together to create dramatic meaning. Emphasis will be given to further development of individual performing skills and to enhancing students' understanding of dramaturgical processes and strategies.

Productions will not be longer than 45mins and will emphasise inventive production solutions within limited resource constraints and production values (minimal set, props, lighting and costumes) to promote problem-solving skills.
