Students to present their scenes to an invited audience to gain experience of the pressure of performance
If you repeatedly turn your back to some of the audience when addressing another character then your performance is lost. It is said that you have 'upstaged yourself'. Movement is important because it gives a scene pace and energy.

Students to present their scenes to an invited audience to gain experience of the pressure of performance
Students will use a combination of explorative strategies and skills learnt over the last year to create their own performances. Students are expected to incorporate music and sfx to their devised projects.
Students use all the drama skills they have learnt this year to create a devised piece of Drama, as a final performance piece in Year 9.
