Students will work on developing their vocal, physical, and interpretive skills for live performance. They will study a variety of practitioner techniques and styles and will analyse the use of these in their work.

In Performing Arts, students work in a mixed Year 12 and 13 class and so the order of units roll over a two-year programme.

Across the two years, students will complete all of the units listed below:

Year 12 and Year 13

Unit 1 - Investigating Practitioner’s Work
Unit 2 - Developing Skills and Techniques for Live Performance
Unit 3 - Group Performance Workshop
Unit 19 - Acting Styles

Students will apply the theories and techniques they have learnt for two scripted performances and one devised performance that must be performed to a live audience. Students will also sit a written examination which will require them to investigate the work of a variety of Performing Arts practitioners and analyse it, in relation to the contextual factors of the practitioner and a given theme.

Grade 4 or above in Performing Arts or audition/consultation
