VCE Performing Arts

Drama Unit 4

Course Description

Drama Unit 4 focuses on the development and presentation of devised solo work. It builds on knowledge and skills attained in relation to drama practices that draw on a range of performance styles and associated conventions from a diverse range of contemporary and historical contexts. These contexts focus on non-realistic styles and structures, including non-linear narratives. 

Students develop and refine their skills as they create, develop and refine a performance in response to a prescribed structure selected for the VCE Drama solo performance examination.

Students are encouraged to attend performances that incorporate a range of performance styles and contemporary drama practices to support their work.
