This course will equip you with a wide range of key skills, enabling you to perform more successfully in any context. You will develop your understanding of research, of how texts work and how performances are planned, organised and staged. You will learn how to liberate your imagination harness your creative powers, and gain the confidence to express yourself as a writer, performer, director or designer. This highly practical course provides you with the opportunity to work as either performers and/or designers on three different performances. In Component 1 you reinterpret a text to create a piece of theatre which is a combination of the selected text and original ideas. In Component 2 you engage with a stimulus to create two contrasting pieces of theatre: one an interpretation of a text of their own choice and the other a devised piece. Both Components 1 and 2 are designed to encourage you to make connections between dramatic theory and your practice. While preparing your practical work, you will explore the work of two theatre practitioners (individuals or companies) of your own choice and then apply their research to their performances or designs. In Component 3, you will explore, analyse and interpret three performance texts as an actor, designer and director.
These vary for each A-Level subject, but you will need a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grade 5 or equivalent, including English and Mathematics. Many subjects require grade 6 or above to study them at A Level (please see our subject guides).
