We will study aspects such as lyrical structure, verbal hooks, instrumental hooks, drum beats and chord structure.

Drama: Theatrical Skills 1

Baimbridge College has a long and proud tradition of drama as shown through the many successful productions over the years.

Students will gain skills in improvisation, learning from a script, body language, interaction with others, nonverbal communication and character acting. They will work as a whole class, in small groups and individually to make and present small skits, movies and plays.

Playing a part in a major production is challenging but very rewarding. In this elective students will play a part in putting on a production this may include acting, stage direction and design, sound mixing, directing or producing the show.
