Drama and Theatre is a demanding but exhilarating course, offering students the opportunity to engage with a range of cultural discourses that challenge our perceptions of what constitutes dramatic art, and what it is for. A heavy emphasis is placed on applying theoretical ideas to performance, justifying practical decisions in relation to a practitioner or director’s intentions and creating innovative new theatre.
Entry to Sixth Form is by application and is dependent on the candidate achieving the minimum academic requirement of five GCSE grades at C or above (at least three at Grade B or above). All students must have an understanding of how to analyse text in performance, as well as be capable of applying methodologies of different practitioners to practical work. Technical candidates should possess secure performance skills, as set texts are explored practically. Given the theoretical and analytical demands of the A Level in Drama and Theatre, all candidates should have attained grade 5 or above in English Language or Literature at GCSE.
