IB Theatre is for pupils who enjoy creating their own work, reading plays, watching and exploring the work and ideas of theatre makers, and taking an active part in the practical exploration and creation of theatre in performance as actors, directors, designers and technicians. Pupils are based in the Auden theatre and make full use of our excellent facilities. The Core Syllabus explores: Staging play texts, Exploring world theatre traditions, Collaboratively creating original theatre and Performing theatre theory.
None required, though a good pass at GCSE Drama, evidence of active participation in productions and a genuine enthusiasm for all aspects of the subject are expected.
There are 4 tasks for HL pupils and 3 for SL Task 1 is externally assessed and Task 2, 3 and 4 are internally assessed. Task 1: Production Proposal (SL 30% and HL 20%): you choose a published play text and formulate a vision for the design and theoretical staging of the entire play text for an audience. Task 2: Research Presentation (SL 30% and HL 20%): you plan, deliver and video record an individual research presentation (15 minutes maximum) in which you provide evidence of your academic and practical exploration of a world theatre tradition. Task 3: Collaborative Project (SL 40% and HL 25%) you collaboratively create and perform an original piece of theatre (lasting 7–10 minutes maximum) created from a starting point of your choice. Your piece is presented to an audience as a fully realised production. Task 4: Solo Theatre Piece (HL 35%) You research a theatre theorist you have not previously studied, identify an aspect(s) of theory and create and present a solo theatre piece (4-7 minutes) that demonstrates the practical application of this theory
