Drama and Theatre Studies

Assessment

Sixty percent of the course is coursework, thirty percent is a paper. The paper is a written examination of three hours. It is designed to enable pupils to demonstrate their creativity and imagination in interpreting set texts and applying independent thinking as they evaluate live theatre production. Both scripted and devised performances are given by the pupils over the course of two years, one of which will be in front of an external examiner. The work and methodologies of two different prescribed practitioners are studied and evidenced in working notebooks and reflective reports.
