Drama and Theatre provides students with the opportunity to work as either performers and/or designers on three different performances. It encourages students to make connections between dramatic theory and their own practice. Students explore the work of two key theatre practitioners and apply their research to their own creative output. Students also learn about the processes and practices involved in interpreting and performing theatre by watching and analysing live theatre. In Component 1, students reinterpret a text to create a piece of theatre in the style of a key practitioner. For Component 2, students engage with a stimulus to create two pieces of theatre; one an interpretation of a text of their own choice, the other a devised piece. In Component 3, students study two complete performance texts and one extract from a third.
Whilst there are no specific entry requirements students would be expected to have a proven interest in theatre, ideally through the study of Drama at GCSE.
The performance created for Component 1 (20% of the qualification) is internally assessed and externally moderated. In addition to the performance each student must produce a creative log which documents their creative process. The performances created for Component 2 (40% of the qualification) are externally assessed by a visiting examiner. Component 3 (40% of the qualification) is assessed by written examination.
