Theatre Studies offers students an opportunity to develop a wide range of personal and academic skills that would make ideal preparation for the world of work and university. The course involves acting, improvisation, movement, assessing and analysing script, realising the performance potential within a text as well as understanding theatre history and its relationship to contemporary practice. The study of theory is mainly through practice; indeed there are practical performance opportunities throughout the course.
GCSE passes at grade 6 in English and English Literature are preferred. To do this course you should have an interest in, and enthusiasm for plays, theatre and performance, but you do not need to have studied Drama previously or had any formal training in the subject.
