DANCE AND DRAMAYears 5 and 6 of Education Objectives and tasks The focus of the curriculum module ‘Dance and Drama’ is not teaching theoretical content. Its aim is to provide students with an opportunity of getting frontline experience of the tools of drama and the elements of the different theatrical modes of expression through student activities. Of course this cannot mean that academic knowledge should be neglected. On the contrary, theory does appear, however mainly as the outcome of practical activities, as a lesson from the experience gained in practice. Dance and Drama is built around activities. The analytic discussion which follows practical activities may lead to the expansion of knowledge, however this cannot be achieved without students transforming their acquired knowledge, emerging views and arising question into actions. Therefore the study and use of the different dramatic and theatrical conventions are for the benefit of teacher and student alike, as it is an opportunity for expressing thoughts and emotions which are difficult to verbalise (or being in the process of formulation). It is also a means of checking the acquired knowledge in practice. The terminology used in the curriculum is intended to reflect this focus. The notions ‘play’ and ‘work’ are used frequently. We hope that using these terms together will be conducive to our intention that, although the artistic activities pursued in different fields are governed by technical processes, participation in classroom activities should be a pleasure and an intellectual excitement for students. Dance and Drama intends to provide opportunities for participating in diverse activities related to drama, dance and puppetry; giving students special attention according to ability and aptitude; giving students an opportunity to experience the joy and the sense of freedom offered by drama, dance and puppetry. The acquisition and extensive use of techniques and conventions of dramatic performance and puppetry, the technical elements of dance; improvisation and experimenting with dramatic form, the technical elements of dance; experiencing dance and puppetry as a form of artistic communication. A central objective is to act out realistic human situations and fictive stories in various theatrical forms, and to allow students use knowledge and skills acquired elsewhere. Dance and drama sessions provide opportunities for self-assessment in order to make students able to appreciate their own results and incorporate their experiences into their artistic activities. Students should be given an opportunity to plan and create a show individually or in groups and to put the created show on stage. It is important to make sure students can see as many live and recorded theatre / dance / puppet shows or performances, including peer productions, as possible; they need to have the opportunity to study the cultural traditions of different theatrical forms; to study the basic methods of stage-craft. An important aspect is to expand students’ terminology and active vocabulary in connection with drama and various theatrical forms.
