VMBO GL/TL Drama study plan

Map the full domain 1 theory syllabus into a one-page overview of drama terminology, theatre history periods, and production roles

Define and memorize 40 core Dutch drama terms (e.g. enscenering, mise-en-scène, dramatische spanning, personage, conflict) with a self-written example for each

Explain in writing the difference between tragedy, comedy, farce, and musical as genre categories, using three concrete distinguishing features per genre

Set up a kunstdossier folder structure and write the dossier cover page with your chosen practical assignment theme

Describe the main theatre history periods from Greek antiquity through contemporary theatre, naming two characteristic features and one representative playwright per period

Explain the functions of director, playwright, actor, stage designer, costume designer, and light technician and how their work interrelates

Analyze one short play text of your choice for dramatic structure (exposition, rising action, climax, denouement) and write it out in a scene scheme

Practice 15 multiple-choice style theory questions on terminology and score at least 80%

Explain the concepts of dramatic tension, identification, and alienation (vervreemding) and apply each to a scene you have seen or read

Describe staging conventions: fourth wall, tableau, monologue, aside, chorus, and breaking the fourth wall, with one example each

Summarize the basic principles of stage lighting, sound, set, and costume as meaning-carrying elements rather than decoration

Write a short review (recensie) of a theatre performance or filmed registration using at least 10 correct drama terms

Complete a full practice theory exam under time pressure and review every wrong answer with a written correction note

Draft the concept for your practical assignment: formulate the dramatic conflict, the characters, and the intended effect on the audience

Write a first scene of your practical script (max 2 A4) with clear stage directions

Describe in your dossier how your concept connects to at least two theory concepts from domain 1

Rewrite the script into a complete playable scene of 5 to 8 minutes with a clear beginning, climax, and ending

Rehearse the scene at least three times and log per rehearsal what you changed and why

Apply two acting principles deliberately (e.g. objective, obstacle, given circumstances) and note where they are visible in your playing

Record a video registration of the scene for self-assessment

Design and produce the necessary staging elements (set, costume, props, light or sound plan) within a stated budget of time and money

Write the programme booklet text: title, synopsis, cast and crew list, and a short director's note

Give and receive peer feedback using a written feedback form with at least five criteria

Process the peer feedback into a dated revision list and carry out at least three revisions

Perform or present the final version of the practical assignment and record it

Write the reflective section of the kunstdossier: what you intended, what you did, what worked, and what you would change

Cross-check the dossier against the official assessment criteria and mark any missing evidence

Redo 30 theory questions on the domain-1 topics you scored weakest on in week 4

Finalize the kunstdossier: correct language errors, complete all required sections, and confirm the submission format

Take one last full timed practice theory exam and score at least 85%

Recite from memory the 40 core terms and their definitions without notes

Write a one-page personal exam-day plan covering timing, materials, and how you will handle a question you do not know
