CLASS LEVELS and AGE GROUPS

 

JUNIORS

Our Junior students are introduced to the skills of theatre performance, while developing their confidence as individuals.  Through drama exercises and games, the children have heaps of fun while learning basic stagecraft, voice production, improvisation, character and teamwork.
 

INTERMEDIATES

As intermediates, the students are encouraged to create their own scripts, perform solo pieces, and work on longer pieces for entry into local One Act Play festivals.  Focus is given to combining acting techniques that incorporate the body, emotions, character, and mime in improvisation and other performances.

 

SENIORS/ENSEMBLE

As the students mature they are expected to work more independently.  Performance pieces are an important part of this level with students devising, writing and directing their own scripts.  They are required to utilise different aspects of theatre performance.  This includes the students taking responsibility for the incorporation of music, costuming, lighting and props in their work.

Senior Production Class

In its second year in 2010, this course was designed to allow students who are looking for a challenge to experience all facets of producing, performing, writing and designing theatrical productions.  The students will also be able to hone their skills in workshops that will develop their abilities as performers, using teaching methods that are a proven Victorian College of the Arts standard. 

Most importantly the students will have the opportunity to participate in and create three separate productions across the year, ranging from a simple workshop performance to a full scale production.  One of these performances will include a shakespearian play. 

This is a course that has brought some amazing moments to the stage over 2009, and we are looking forward to seeing what can be done in 2010.  While entry to the couse is in audition/interviewed based, any student aged 13 years and older wishing to try something a little more and incredibly rewarding in encouraged to apply. 

Junior Musical Production Class

The Junior Musical Production Class has been has been designed to enable students to learn about the process of a musical, from auditions to performance.  This course running from March to August,  was created to give a unique experience to students between the age of 6 - 14 years. 

Honk!  Jnr is an Olivier winning contemporary retelling of Hans Christian Anderson's classic story, "The Ugly Duckling".  It is a fun filled adventure in discovering the joys of being different.  It has a 'Joseph ...Dreamcoat" like score that kids will enjoy.  Honk! Jnr is a great reminder of all the things we hope kids learn - accept others for who they are.

Please note that enrollment is essential prior to the commencement of the course.  Performances of the production "Honk!  Jnr" will be at the Cranbourne Theatre on Saturday14th and Sunday 15th August. 

Film and TV

Having had a brief break since 2007, when Adlib presented its first ever feature film "Formal", we are pleased to announce that Matt Hillman will once again be taking our new Film and TV course for 2010.  The course is designed to  allow students to learn frame composition, editing, screen direction and performance, and will also have some focus on visual effects.  Students will also be encouraged to  experiment with what they have learned outside class time. 

The students will take part in numerous film tasks and projects, and the final products that are produced will be  shown in a 'film festival' style, and then broadcast live via Adlib's new Youtube Internet Channel "Omega".  Students will experience life both in front of and behind the camera.

Crescendo

Crescendo Logo
