Year 12: Unit 1 – Exploration and Performance You will study an extract from a play text and prepare this for performance in light of the work of a practitioner. You will work in a group to rehearse and refine your ideas for this performance. You will produce a portfolio of work that details your exploration, rehearsal, and creation process and evaluate your contribution to it. (This will be between 2000-2500 words). You will also prepare and perform a monologue or a duologue from a different play text. Unit 2 – Theatre Makers in Practice This is an externally assessed written exam of 1 hour 45 minutes based on a detailed study of one set play text and one live theatre performance you have seen. Section A is based on the live theatre performance you have seen. Section B is based on a set text that you will study and questions will be based on the performance and the design elements of this text. Year 13: Unit 1 – Devising You will prepare a devised performance based on an extract from a play text and a practitioner. You will work in a group to rehearse and refine your ideas for this performance. You will produce a portfolio of work that details your exploration, rehearsal, and creation process as well as the final performance. (This will be between 2500- 3000 words). Unit 2 – Text in Performance You will create a performance from a play text, rehearsing and refining your ideas for this performance. You will also prepare and perform a monologue or a duologue from a different play text. Unit 3 – Theatre Makers in Practice This is an externally assessed written exam of 2 hours 30 minutes based on a detailed study of two set play texts and one live theatre performance you have seen. Section A is based on the live theatre performance you have seen. Section B is based on one set text and you will answer questions based on performance and design elements of this play text. Section C is based on another set text and the focus of a practitioner; you will create a director’s concept for a re-imagined production of the play. The great strength of this course is the practical involvement in acting and acting skills. The most obvious way that you can extend your coursework is through being involved in the many Academy shows and performances during the year. You might also think about being involved with a community drama group as an extension of your interest in the broad area of acting. Progression in this course could lead to university courses, such as degrees, in various subjects, including Acting, Musical Theatre, technical theatre, and management. It could also lead to a variety of jobs within professional theatre companies. It is also a good course to study to develop personal and interpersonal skills that are needed in many different job sectors.
You will need 5 GCSE’s Grade 5 or above including English and Maths.
