Drama at Trinity College
Trinity College Drama productions provide students
and our community with vibrant cultural experiences across a
range of theatrical styles. Well established and purpose built
facilities at the College enable Trinity Blakeview School, Trinity
College Senior, Trinity North School and Trinity South School
to present productions that are unique to their school, whilst
still enabling students to work in partnership on whole College
enterprises.
Curriculum
The four R – 10 Schools offer an identical
course, with individual focuses being adopted by each school
according to the needs of their students and the particular cultural
aspects that may be promoted by the respective school.
The course aims to develop group work skills, encourage
creative expression and foster personal organization and reliability.
For the individual student, the course aims to develop skills
onstage as a performer and/or offstage in direction and technical
work. At an analytical level students are taught how to observe
and analyse live performance.
Students will experience a range of activities
that build concentration and confidence, provide opportunities
for small and large group improvisation and large group production,
and which include visits to live theatre and review and production
essay writing
Drama is offered as an elective subject for students
from Year 9 to Year 12. No prerequisites are required for movement
through the curriculum in the Middle School. Drama in the Senior
School is governed by SACE requirements as dictated by the PES
Drama Studies and SAS Drama course curricula.
Drama is also offered as an experiential learning
opportunity on an individual school basis, from Year 6 onwards.
Performance
Throughout the course of the academic year students
in Years 8 to 12 are engaged in the rigour of producing productions
performed to the wider community. Students experience all aspects
of production ranging from technical production, light and sound,
acting and script writing, through to catering, front of house
and ticketing.
Each of the four schools offers independent productions.
Whole College productions enable students to participate in vertical
age group experiences that bridge all aspects of the Performing
Arts.
With a long history of excellence in Drama performance, opportunities continue
to evolve for experimentation in state of the art live theatre across the full
width of performance possibility.
