This standard asks you to engage with theatre made in Aotearoa New Zealand and explain what it does for audiences and society. You'll take part in a drama performance and then write about how the different drama tools (like movement, dialogue, lighting, or music) help the performance heal, educate, entertain, or change how people think. A key part of the assessment is showing manaakitanga — respect and care — in how you approach the theatre work and reflect on its impact.
