CAPS Drama resources

-

This is a list of resources for teachers and students of CAPS FET Drama.

This is a compact list of things you may cover in Drama over Grades 10 - 12. There are links to helpful, short videos that can be used in class, or as a preparation for class and even as revision. I've tried to find the shortest and most interesting videos.

Shakespeare

Learn about Shakespeare and the Elizabethan Chain of Being.



It is important to understand the Iambic Pentameter when studying and performing Shakespeare. The Iambic is best understood if Metre in poetry is understood in general.

  Krisis deur Elisabeth Eybers ‘Krisis’ (Crisis) - by Elisabeth Eybers 1. Dis hier wat ons twee skei – jy, Hart, en ek, 2. albei tot afskeid so onvoorbereid. 3. Die weg was lieflik waarlangs jy gelei’t 4. maar dis verby, al staar jy terug. Nou strek 5. die pad langs klowe, afgrond en moeras. 6. Voortvarend en ʼn lafaard soos altyd 7. en nooit in staat tot enige besluit 8. en siek daarby, is jy nou net ʼn las. 9. Jy was die gas en gasheer by die fees, 10. die seremoniemeester en die nar: 11. jou dwase raad kan net die Hoof verwar 12. waar elke tree die laaste tree mag wees. 13. Kyk, dit word laat, die kermis is verby, 14. kan jy dit nie begryp? Hier moet ons skei . This is for educational purposes only. I hereby declare that I do not own the rights to this poem.
