Presenting Theatre
This area of the syllabus addresses the staging and presentation of theatre as well as the presentation of ideas, research and discoveries through diverse modes of presentation, both practical and written. You will consider the impact theatre can have on the spectator. They are encouraged to think about their own artistic intentions as creators, designers, directors and performers and the impact they wish to have on an audience.
Through the presenting theatre area, you will:
- apply your practical theatre skills, either individually or collaboratively, through a range of formats
- present your ideas about theatre and take part in theatre performance
- understand and appreciate how artistic choices can impact on an audience
The presenting theatre area of the course requires students to both present their ideas about theatre and
to take part in actual theatre performances. It provides opportunities for them to apply their practical
theatre skills, either individually or collaboratively, through a range of formats; theatre productions, oral
presentations and demonstrations, journals and at HL, solo performances. Students are required to explore
this area from the perspective of creator, director, performer and designer.
The syllabus should be flexible enough to ensure that students can participate in a wide range of
performance, production and presentation tasks. Students should also experience productions in a variety
of performance styles. An integral part of this experience is the process of self-reflection (in conjunction
with the theatre journal) and an awareness of how audiences engage with a performance
