This is an introductory course for students with little or no theatre arts experience. The course focuses on essential theatre arts vocabulary and the creative process. The fundamentals of speaking, acting, and vocal expression are applied. Students learn fundamental pantomime skills and how to apply the elements of improv in the performance of simple scenes and stories. They explore and analyze formal and informal theatre productions and develop the ability to identify basic technical elements of theatrical production. If a student has successfully completed drama in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, the student should enroll in an Intermediate Level course.
