Why take Drama and Theatre Studies? Are you curious about issues and ideas and have a creative instinct for communicating your views through drama? Are you keen on acting, writing or on the visual and technical side of theatre? Are you interested in going to the theatre to see plays? If you can answer yes to all of these questions, Drama and Theatre Studies is probably for you. The range of work will involve practical performance, devising and working from scripts, writing about theatre you have seen and plays you have read, and the theory and practice of practitioners, playwrights and directors.
A minimum of 4 subjects at grade 5 or above at GCSE plus English Language or Literature at grade 5 or above and a grade 6 in GCSE Drama (if taken). You will attend an audition to demonstrate your skills. If you were not able to take GCSE Drama, you will be asked to provide details of your interest in the subject outside of the school context.
You will be assessed through written coursework, practical performance and written examination. The course demands practical, creative and communication skills in almost equal measure.
