In Drama this semester we are developing a repertoire of skills and techniques to take creative risks and express ideas and emotions through and for performance in our first five units: Mime, Clown, Improv, Neutral Mask, and Mask Making.
Students will experience a variety of different genres and styles by attending productions at various local theatres to make connections with our Whitehorse theatre community.
Students will be able to describe, analyze, respond, and reflect on dramatic works and make connections with personal experiences. We will discuss how this art form can influence or be influenced by social, cultural, historical, environmental, and personal context. Students will learn about each audience and how to demonstrate respect for them, ourselves and others. 
Together we will create four shows this semester:

1. The Variety Show

• This show features a variety of short performances that will showcase different talents and skills of our students. 
• Our target audience is all ages (family friendly)
• Dates:
  • September 20th - 22nd @ 8pm

2. The Haunted House

• This show is our biggest of the semester because of the amount of work and collaboration it takes to turn the entire upstairs of Wood Street Centre into a scary maze. 
• Our target audience are grades 5 - 7 students.
• Dates:
  • October 25th, 29th and 30th @ 10am and 1pm
  • October 26th @ 10am, 1pm and 6pm
  • October 27th @ 3pm and 6pm​

3. The Winter Show

• This show is not a Christmas show; in the past it has often been an adaptation of a fairytale or another well-known story. This year it is TBD. Stay tuned!
• Dates:
  • December 12th, 17th and 18th @ 10am and 1pm
  • December 13th and 14th @ 10am, 1pm and 6pm

4.  The Shipyard’s Show (Santa and Elves Theme)

• We have once again teamed up with the city for our second year at Santa Land. During this one day event, students will prepare a variety of different pieces to entertain the many girls and boys (and parents) who wish to meet Santa. 
• Date:
  • December 15th (Time TBD)
