The Advanced Level Drama and Theatre course should appeal to anyone who has a strong practical interest in Drama and the Performing Arts, whether on stage or behind the scenes. It also develops communication, collaboration and confidence; all essential to a career in any field. As well as a written exam, there is a large amount of practical work which counts for 60% of the total marks. The first practical element is a devised piece, influenced by the work and methodologies of one prescribed practitioner, supported by a working notebook. The second practical element is the performance of an extract as well as a reflective report analysing and evaluating the extract along with two others.
All pupils need to be fluent in English; they are also required to attend a range of theatre productions during the holidays, in London and elsewhere, as part of their independent learning programme.
Component 1 40% Written Exam: 3 hours Component 2 30% Practical A Devised performance (as a performer, designer or director) with a working notebook. Component 3 30% Practical B Practical exploration and interpretation of three extracts, along with a reflective report.
