The aim of this course is to increase the confidence and fluency of the students through the use of drama, role playing, and play performance. This course is also be good for students as teacher candidates who wish to use this technique in their own teaching later on. To accommodate the process, the first few weeks of the course will focus on the fundamentals of theatre: including script interpretation, the language of acting (body movement, gestures, voice, and tones), character development, and the technicalities of production.
There will be some discussion, improvisation, and acting games at the beginning of the semester. These are necessary to provide chances for students to practice as well as to give a more realistic drama ‘atmosphere’. Afterwards there will be some more details of drama preparation and performance techniques, such as make-up, costumes, properties, settings, lighting, music, etc.
The remaining proportion of the course will be in presentation of the scenes for an audience. Students will not only be actors/actresses, but also provide technical support, for example as directors, designers, and to work on lighting, sound system, costumes, and setting design.
Students will elect themselves as directors, actors/actresses, and designers, and choose the scene they would like to prepare and perform, of 15-18 students per group.
As the class approaches the final performances, students may be required to attend extra rehearsal hours in addition to the regularly scheduled class. The final performance will be production of assorted 45-minute scenes from different plays/stories put on by each student group. This performance will be open to other students of Sanata Dharma University and to public.

Each society has its own beliefs, attitudes, customs, behaviors, and social structures. These give people a sense of identity, standards by which to live, and goals to strive for. The term “culture” has many different meanings, but it is generally understood to be a reference to the patterns of belief and behavior common to a particular group of people. Culture is the framework within which people see the world and its inhabitants around them. Culture is not a static concept, but rather it is something learned, shared, and adaptable. This course explores and analyzes cultural similarities and differences with regards to Indonesian and other cultures. Ultimately, students may learn more about themselves from the study of “others.”
