Drama is an exciting, energising and challenging subject which will enrich you on both a personal and academic level. To watch and be part of live performances, to go through something together as a group, learning about them, laughing with them, helping them over good and bad times and sharing the intense moments of happiness and nervousness is how we might describe the most precious moments of our lives and yet is precisely all those things you go through putting on a play or being part of a course of Drama. There is a strong emphasis on learning through practical application of new and challenging theatrical techniques, garnering an extended appreciation of the possibilities of how theatre can communicate meaning and inference to audiences. Theoretical components in research and performance are therefore easier to grasp and interrogate, resulting in a deeper level of understanding.
Two Grade 6 and four Grade 5 at GCSE level The course is primarily aimed at students who studied Drama at GCSE/BTEC and achieved at least a grade 5 or equivalent. It is open, however, to students who have not studied Drama specifically, especially those who have pursued an interest through extra-curricular opportunities. Applications are assessed on an individual basis for students in this position.
