WE HAVE A DATE FOR THE PERFORMANCE EXAM!!!!!!!!! 31st August - 8:30am - 1:05pm

SO! - You are going to be first up - first day of the marking in the morning. You are going to have to be extra good!!!

Warm-ups at 8:00am Ready to begin at 8:15am**
 * Here's the plan - arrive at school at 7:30am (DO NOT BE LATE!!!!!!)

I will give you the running order once I have finalised it. You know that Groups go first and then IP performance (Talissa can go home after the GP marking)

VERY EXCITING!!!!! Speak to you all next week. Come in for rehearsals this week if you need to, just let me know! Mrs Lyons

**AUSTRALIAN THEATRE PRACTICE ESSAY** I am very cross at a couple of individuals who did not complete their practice essays last week. Email them to me ASAP. Overall, only ONE of you completed the Restoration Practice Question. Very naughty Year 12!!!!! Click here to see some comments and hints for this question overall

We are entering into the final stages of your HSC for Drama. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel!! and it will go very quick towards the end, so lets just look at what we need to think about.======

Next week is both the written exam and the practical exam. You will need to be doing practice essays and finding time to rehearse your GP and IP Please check that the Green Room is free for rehearsals when you want it (remember we share this room with Entertainment students and other Drama classes)
 * 1. Trials**

I will more than likely be finding out the date for this while you are away for Trial exams, so check this site regularly as I will post the dates on this page! Remember the day could be anytime between 31st August (week 6) and 11th September (Week 7) so the day is coming up very soon!! I will have the run sheet ready closer to the date (so I'm sorry you will have to sweat it out) However, we all know that Group Performances will go before Individual Performances. Talissa gets to go home after ALL of the the group performances are marked. But IP Performance students, prepare to stay for the duration of the day, so bring a book or some study to do - its a long day.
 * 2. Performance Examination**

This really only applies to Talissa. Remember that we need to send off your project on 31st August. Our aim will be to get everything finished for the Friday before (28th August, week 5) so I can check it and pack it ready to go! You will need to help me with this. So preapre to spend that Friday doing stuff for your project.
 * 3. Project submission date**

The rest of the term will be focussed on revising topic material. We will look at more essay writing, but also some more practical workshops. I am open for suggestions with workshops - anything you would like to explore, just let me know and we will focus on it. You guys can drive the bus, and I will go get the maps and petrol! (metaphorically speaking) I will also show you my production of //Ruby Moon,// which is a closer reproduction of the play to the script than the one we watched at Star of the Sea in Manly.
