Studying Theatre studies at A-level gives you the opportunity to be creative whilst developing analytical skills enabling you to be a confident, articulate critical thinker who can work well with others as well as independently. This course takes a holistic approach to Theatre looking at performance, design, and direction as well theoretical exploration of texts. Our teaching methods are practical and we offer the opportunity to experience live theatre as an audience member as well as taking part in it as performers and theatre makers. This course is taught over 5 hours a week which happens in a 2/3 hour split. There are 2 teachers who deliver the course but the general way of working is that each cohort has one member of staff that takes them through the two-year course. There is an expectation that students will do independent study that reflects the number of hours delivered. This changes depending on the elements being covered. As a minimum of 2 hours a week of study should be carried out. We use Google Classroom to set and submit work and in the event of working remotely, all lessons are delivered live by your class teacher. Practical sessions are regular and generally speaking, would happen for one of the two sessions a week- You will always be notified of this so that kit can be worn/brought. Kit consists of a plain black top, bottoms, and jumper if needed and should be comfortable and allow you to move freely.
You must have achieved 5 passes including mathematics and English, where a pass is defined as GCSE 9-4 and pass or better at level 2 BTEC. Ideally a GCSE or equivalent in Drama or performing arts. Students need to have a level 5 or above in English at GCSE to access this course
