CAPISTRANO VALLEY HIGH

Length of Course: Year *Prerequisite

 

This course offers in-depth theater studies in the areas of theater history, theater and acting genres, and emotional work. Students are expected to have an extensive knowledge of the basics of theater (terms, stage areas, acting guideposts, etc.). Emphasis for this course is placed on intense emotional work, and comfort levels of performance in front of audiences of their peers in class. Course can be taken more than once for credit.  This class meets the UC/CSU   F-requirement  (VAPA).  It also meets the G- requirement if the student took Drama 1 for the F-requirement.  Fine Arts for HS graduation

 

*Completion of Drama 1 or teacher approval

If you'd like to skip Drama 1, you can email Mrs. Tucker a resume of your experience.  It doesn't have to be formal-it can be a bullet pointed list of your experience (shows you've acted in or done backstage crew, shows you've seen, classes or summer camps you've taken, and the name of your teacher of director).  It is only necessary to audition for Advanced Drama if you are requesting to skip the prerequisite of Drama 1 and you don't have any experience or would just simply like to send in an audition video.   You can send your resume or video to Mrs. Tucker eatucker@capousd.org.  Make sure you get a response (sometimes the emails go to my junk mail and I never see them).

 

If you have already taken Drama 1 or the equivalent at another high school, you can add Advanced Drama onto your schedule without an audition.
