Purpose
Elective subjects shall help pupils develop a desire to learn and experience a sense of mastery, individually and as a group, through practical and varied work. Elective subjects are interdisciplinary subjects that contribute to comprehensive and contextual learning.
All art forms are creative and are meant to be communicated. The different forms of artistic expression are constantly evolving; art is able to break boundaries. The arts also contribute to building bridges between historic epochs and different art forms, cultures and individuals. The elective subject of Hall and Stage will promote tolerance and trust through creative interaction. Pupils will discover and explore their own creativity from original ideas to practical execution and performances. The elective subject involves different tasks that encompass the different phases in a theatrical production. This involves cooperating about planning, preparing and execution behind the scenes and on stage,
Work in the elective subject will allow pupils to learn the practical creative processes and learn to communicate and express themselves through different audiovisual or scenic media and productions. Scenic productions will allow pupils to work with musicals, theatre, dance, stand-up comedy, cabarets, performance, concerts, circus, revues and other scenic forms of expression. They will also be able to gain in-depth knowledge within more limited areas of expression. Audiovisual production includes work in all kinds of sound and music in interaction with different visual presentations such as film, installations and other multimedia productions.
The pupils will be able to select different types of work tasks and cooperate on productions.
