In Level D, students explore drama. They learn about how drama can represent the world and that they can make drama to represent their ideas about the world. They share their drama with peers and experience drama as audiences.
Students become aware of role and situation as they listen and respond as characters. They explore voice and movement to create role. They learn about focus and identifying the main character and location of the drama. As audiences they recognise that the purpose of drama is to share it with others.
As they experience drama, students draw on drama from a range of cultures, times and locations. Students learn about safety in dramatic play and in interaction with other actors.
By the end of Level D, students make and share drama that communicates major elements of stories or experiences.
Students provide a simple explanation about the characteristics of drama they make, perform and view.
