**Year 9 Drama – Directing Bundle Toolkit + Practitioner Scheme of Work (KS3→GCSE Prep)**

Two complete schemes of work for Year 9 Drama, designed as a bridge to GCSE.
This bundle combines the Directing Toolkit (introductory skills) with Direct Like a Practitioner (Stanislavski, Brecht, Artaud, Physical Theatre).

Across these units, students explore the role of the director, practise blocking and proxemics, experiment with mood and style, and finally compare practitioner approaches through assessment and showcase tasks.
