Combining coursework assessment and a final examination, Drama & Theatre A Level will develop your knowledge and understanding of text, performance and practitioner. It offers the opportunity to develop performance skills through participation in devised and text-based performance work. In addition, you will become skilled at textual analysis, directing for the stage and responding to live theatre. This course is active, creative and dynamic. Contemporary texts and current theatre practice form the basis of study.
As a minimum, students must achieve at least grade 7 (equivalent to A grade) in four separate subjects. In addition, all students must achieve a minimum grade of 6 (equivalent to a high B grade) in Mathematics and English GCSE or IGCSE. Please also note that a minimum of grade 7 is required in those subjects, or closely related subjects, that students wish to study for A Level with the exception of Mathematics where students will require a minimum grade 8 at GCSE and Further Mathematics where students will require a minimum grade 9 at GCSE.
60% of the course is assessed via practical and written coursework, which takes place throughout the two-year course. The final 40% is a written exam at the end of the course. Over the two years you will demonstrate a practical understanding of: • two full and substantial performance texts • three key extracts from contrasting texts • two influential theatre practitioners You will also take part in two major performances: • a devised performance • a text-based performance
