The course is varied and interesting. You will have the opportunity to develop practical performance skills and acting techniques and you will learn how to analyse play texts, interpret characters, explore themes and ideas, and understand the historical and cultural contexts. You will gain a practical understanding of the theatre production process, including lighting, sound, and costume design and you will create your own original theatre work to be presented to an audience. Alongside practical work, you will also engage in written assignments that require analysis, reflection, and evaluation of your own work and the work of others. You will be encouraged to attend live theatre performances and critically evaluate them allowing you to articulate your ideas and develop your written communication skills. You will be taught by subject specialist teaching staff and visiting directors, actors and designers from the industry will lead workshops with pupils.

This is graded by a visiting examiner who watches the performance. 40% is the written exam at the end of the course. Section A: Live theatre Evaluation.
