HSC & YEAR 11
ABOUT SFJ's HSC & YEAR 11 SYMPOSIUMS
Essential opportunities to deepen your student’s practical understanding through experiencing and analysing key scenes and characters in performance.
Sport for Jove’s HSC Performance Symposiums series in 2025 offers a powerful theatrical experience of the plays’ major scenes and characters in performance, coupled with theatrical analysis
and curriculum-based insights into how they work..
Join Damien Ryan and the team to explore the plays’ multiple meanings, open up diverse critical readings, unlock language and character, hear actors discuss the plays’ famous ambiguities and challenges, and respond to students’ questions. A complete, hands-on experience that combines the unfiltered relationship students need with the plays’ action and narrative, while also ensuring they are watching with understanding.
We extract the key ingredients and critical thinking required to write on plays under exam conditions. Every aspect of the work is geared toward the curriculum and the specific needs of students studying these plays.
Detailed Student Resource Kit included with each Symposium.
EACH SESSION IS 2.5 HOURS IN DURATION
Including performance, analysis and discussion
In 2025, we invite you and your students to explore the following plays with us.
