Component 1: Theatre Workshop (Year 12) This component requires students to demonstrate skills and understanding in performance; either as actors or designers. In the study of this component students will perform in, or design for, a reinterpretation of a scripted extract. Students will be asked to take a section of script and reinterpret it in the style of a different Practitioner or Theatre Company to its original form. Component 2: Text in Action (Year 13) This component requires students to demonstrate skills and understanding of text based and devised performance, as well as the ideas and influences of particular theatre practitioners, companies and styles. In the study of this component students will devise and either perform in, or design, two pieces, and write a process and evaluation report exploring how both pieces were researched and developed, and evaluate the dramatic effectiveness of the work. Component 3: Text in Performance (Year 12 and Year 13) This component is a written exam. Students will study three set texts: Machinal, Saved and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time from the perspectives of directors, actors and designers. In the study of this component students will develop understanding of the texts’ original performance conditions, explore how the texts could be interpreted from a performance, design and directorial perspective, and develop ideas for the staging of the texts, demonstrating how the theatre they have seen has influenced them.
