Drama
Many skills are developed through the Co-curricular Drama program: creativity, problem-solving, accountability, collaboration, perseverance, and focus, to name a few. The boys develop confidence in their own performance skills as well as their ability to work with a range of others.
PRODUCTIONS
There are five productions annually, with all year group having opportunity to perform in the O’Kelly Theatre from Years 7–12.
- Year 12 Play
- Senior Play
- Intermediate Play
- Two Junior Plays
TECHNICAL GROUP ‘VIEW CREW‘
Students interested in being behind the stage rather than on it, the Tech Group ‘View Crew’ gives boys in Years 7–12 an opportunity to learn different aspects of technical theatre production. A few skills learnt are lighting design, programming and operation, audio operation, designing soundscapes and effects, working with digital media playback, stage crew and management including props and sets.
THEATRESPORTS
Theatresports is a team-based event where teams engage in ‘games’ where they create a scene out of a theme or idea, provided a few seconds prior to beginning.
Riverview has one of the strongest Theatresports programs in Sydney, with a focus on participating in the regional competition run by Improv Australia each year for Junior, Intermediate and Senior competitions.
DANCE
Throughout the year, students explored a range of dance styles, including jazz, lyrical, hip hop, and musical theatre. Creating dance routines challenges students artistically and physically, allowing them to grow in confidence, technique, and performance ability.
