The purpose of this arts-based video-documented case study is to understand the perceptions of high school students as they relate to a performance-based theatre class. I hope that through this arts-based study I will be able to ascertain both the educative value of a performance-based approach in drama education and the value of a video-based approach to data analysis in arts-based research. A group of senior high school students are documented as they engage in a production, starting from the audition process through to the final performance. Data was gathered through on-site observations over a period of four months in the form of field notes, student journals, and video digital recordings of interviews, group discussions, rehearsals, and performances. I used video data and presented it in a documentary film as the major form of representation for my study. I chose to make a film because of my experience in this genre, and I believe it is an immediate venue through which to experience my study. / Graduate
