Student Achievement
VCE Drama Solo Showcase
23 October
On Thursday 10 October a selection of Damascus College graduating drama students took to the stage to unveil their solo performances created for their performance exam. This event helped provide an important preview and rehearsal to the main event on Saturday 12th.
Performance is one of the most active and challenging of exams. On direct show is the individual themselves. Such is the nature of performance and why nights such as this are so important to our student’s development. The task requires students to create an original performance based on prescribed characters and stimulus. This is assessed in a live performance by a panel of external examiners using set criteria. Through extensive research, improvisation, scriptwriting and rehearsal the finished product is formed.
As they took to the stage for the last time that night the audience was reminded of how much this extraordinary group of young people have contributed to the artistic and cultural life of our College over the past six years. Well done to all involved.
