Intermediate Drama
Students in this age range are placed with a group of students at their same age and ability level to expand upon improvisation skills, auditioning skills, ensemble work, relaxation and role playing, character building, & theater games to expand their knowledge of the focus and attention required to be a good actor. They are given an audition packet to help them audition at not only our school, but other local and regional community theaters. These students will perform at least twice during the year to learn how to build a role from the beginning to the stage. Additional rehearsals for shows are held in addition to regular class times. Students are responsible for providing the show cost to cover costumes, venue, scripts and show expenses. Typically show production costs are between $50-$100 per show and students only perform in one of these shows per year. Students will be required to sell ad space in the program books to cover the cost of the production, or the parent/guardian may simply choose to pay the production fee without selling ad space. Students are not required to participate in the show and may still attend drama classes and learn all it has to offer without doing a show, However, a show is not only a performance opportunity, but a learning one as well. Students also in this age range and level are students who demonstrate the ability to comprehend the basic acting foundations and understand the basic elements of acting. Class times and groupings are based on level of experience, age, and comprehension abilities. Students who are not of high school age are usually placed into this group as well. This depends on comprehension, years of training, age and the discretion of the teacher. All students will be placed into classes that will best fit their learning needs to make sure that all students achieve the highest level of training possible. Students at this level will expand on basic acting techniques and perform on at least two occasions.
