You will learn about a range of Theatre styles and practitioners with an emphasis on creating and reinterpreting theatre from the point of view of Actor, Director or Designer. As well as exploring the dramatic impact of texts through writing, you will be given opportunities to explore texts in practical workshop sessions and devise performances of your own. The qualification as a whole will represent a range of social, historical and cultural contexts. There will be opportunities to develop skills in improvisation, with an emphasis on small group work. Consequently, A Level Drama is a great opportunity to develop your own personal confidence, as well as teamwork skills - both greatly in demand in the world after School.
Ideally students will have studied GCSE Drama and gained a Grade 6 or above in GCSE Drama and English. While experience of GCSE Drama and stage performance will obviously be helpful, many students have succeeded in A Level Drama without such previous experience. Clearly, a degree of selfconfidence is required because you will be performing in front of large audiences on a number of occasions. You should also have a genuine enjoyment of visiting the theatre and be open to learning about different styles of drama.
