Welcome to Drama at FMM
Mr. Dilallo
Ms. Gilmore
Our grade 9 drama class is a great opportunity for students to develop both their interpersonal and problem solving skills, while discovering their dramatic side! Units of study include: tableau, mime, mask, voice, historical/ world drama, improvisation, scene study and character work. Students are required to attend a professional production in the city of Toronto.
Gr. 10 Drama (ADA 201)
Note: Grade 9 drama is not a pre-requisite, but it is preferred
Grade 10 drama allows students to build upon their dramatic skills from grade 9, and apply their leadership and teamwork capabilities to not only mime and tableau scenes, but more in depth scene work and character study. In addition, students create, write and perform a puppetry play. Students are required to attend a professional production in the city of Toronto.
Gr. 11 Drama (ADA 3M1)
Note: Grade 9 or 10 drama is a pre-requisite, but both are preferred
This course allows students to apply the skills they’ve learned in both gr. 9 and 10 to dynamic activities, such as: playwriting, one-act performances, directing, design elements (such as set, lighting, costume, sound design…), acting theories… Previous gr. 11 classes have been involved in the Sears Drama Festival, a Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre show, outreach programs for the school board as well as grade 9 and 10 classes. Students are required to attend a professional production in the city of Toronto.
Gr. 12 Drama (ADA 4M1)
Note: Gr. 11 Drama is a pre-requisite
The focus of this course is the culminating main stage production for our school. To get to this point, students develop collective collaboration pieces, hone their technical skills, learn how to direct, stage-manage, design, organize, and put together a show. Students are required to attend a professional production in the city of Toronto.
