The OCR A Level Drama and Theatre course will introduce you to some of the most influential practitioners across the world. You will be familiarised with gripping play texts from a range of genres and eras. Additionally, you will build your ability to become a developed theatre-maker, whilst focusing on disciplines such as acting, directing or design. Analytical skills are central to this subject as you will learn how to identify more complex key features within drama and theatre, deepen your understanding of symbolism on stage and analyse the effect this has on the audience. You will build on your current subject terminology and develop a more critical eye when analysing and evaluating live theatre. This A Level is ideal for anyone who wants to continue to study drama and/or performing arts at degree level and forge it into a career. Career pathways that lend itself to this qualification include the following areas: actor, facilitator, scenic designer, costume/lighting/ sound designer, play therapist, drama therapist, teacher, stage manager, dramaturge, playwright; youth and/or community worker, outreach officer, producer and director. Drama and Theatre A Level is a perfect for anyone who still has a love of theatre but foresees their career and/or studies going in a different direction. To evidence this, Tim Bradshaw, Chief Executive of The Russell Group has stated, ‘Universities, like many employers, value a rounded education. If a budding young scientist has met their course’s requirements by taking specified A Levels, why shouldn’t they vary their experience with an arts subject?’
Entry requirements will be considered on an individual basis. A genuine love of drama, theatre and performance. An individual who sees plays and performances outside of the classroom.
