Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

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.
