Drama and Theatre Studies

Assessment

Component 1 – Devising (40% of the qualification) Students will create an original devised performance in small groups. As a stimulus they will use one piece of original performance text, a choice of which is set by the board, and a chosen practitioner. In addition, students will write a 3000 word portfolio, evidencing their journey through devising. Component 2 – Text in Performance (20% of the qualification) Students will develop and demonstrate theatre-making skills in this component, and explore how they realise artistic intentions in performance. They will perform a monologue or dialogue from one performance text, and a group performance of a key extract from a different performance text.
