Recommended Prior LearningWhilst is it recommended that students have taken Level 1 Theatre Technologies, they can start at Level 2.
This is a course for students interested in 'behind the scenes' roles that are needed to stage Performing Arts productions. The Level 2 NCEA Theatre Tech course is based around a range of skills and technologies including: lighting; sound; costume design; make-up; props. In particular we study how these creative elements are communicated. Much of this course is hands on and requires a commitment to participate in performances outside of school hours. Students are rostered onto Sound, Lighting and AV duties for weekly school assemblies. For those interested in gaining an endorsement, an optional Technology External is available. Students will be encouraged to view performance and take part in opportunities outside of the classroom. Technical skills are widely sought after in both community and professionally.
