Drama

In Drama, students explore and depict real and fictional worlds through use of body language, gesture and space to make meaning as performers and audience. They create, rehearse, perform and respond to drama. Outside of the classroom, "Strike Theatre" consisting of students from Year 7-12, work together to refine their stagecraft, teamwork, performance skills and attention to detail in preparation for the seven festivals on the Southeast QLD Theatre festival circuit.

Developing skills in writing and performing, the team creates and performs theatre that challenges, empowers, and entertains audiences. This year the team has focused on a myriad of styles including Drama, Comedy, and Gothic. At the end of the year, Strike Theatre perform their productions at the annual Empower Showcase held at The Lakes College.
