Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

Our Drama & Theatre A level is designed to encourage students to develop and apply an informed, analytical framework for making, performing, interpreting and understanding drama and theatre. Students will develop an understanding and appreciation of how social, cultural and historical contexts of performance texts have influenced the development of drama and theatre; as well as the creativity and independence required to become effective theatre makers. They will learn to analyse and evaluate their own work and that of others. Drama & Theatre is for students who have an enthusiasm for Drama, from the Greeks to contemporary theatre; the ability and willingness to work independently, experimentally and co-operatively with others.
