What Skills Can I Learn from Studying VCE Drama and Theatre Studies?

Jobs are being automated; work is becoming more complex and requires higher order skills. The economy is changing, and workers are expected to change careers many times throughout their lives, with all the learning that entails. In this context, there has been a shift in learning goals. Core knowledge and concepts retain their importance. At the policy level, the mission has become to ensure young people can think critically, creatively, and solve complex problems and decisions collaboratively.

Apart from specific theatre performance and design skills such as acting, directing, costume designing, etc, VCE Drama and Theatre Studies focus on key literacy and analysis skills, life skills, management skills, public speaking skills and transferable skills that you can take into any field of work in the 21st and ongoing centuries.
