On Wednesday February 26 our Year 12 Drama students completed their first assessment for 2020. Their goal, to create a piece of didactic theatre that works to challenge and/or empower their audience.
Throughout the unit, Year 12 Drama students have explored Theatre of Social Comment, and how drama can be used to challenge our understanding of humanity over time. They have investigated the dramatic style of epic theatre and explored how conventions can be manipulated in order to express political and philosophical viewpoints to an audience.
Each of our two groups selected excerpts from Urinetown written by Greg Kotis, a musical play filled with opportunity to work with epic convention in order to inform dramatic meaning. Themes explored throughout their work included hope, fear, corruption and the idea of a Malthusian catastrophe.
