Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

Drama and Theatre Studies A Level study will provide you with a piece of in-depth knowledge about everything that happens on stage: the acting and directing, the set and staging, costumes, lighting, sound and other technical aspects of theatre. You will read and study plays considering not only the text but also the performance and staging of the work. All A Level Drama and Theatre Studies students work as either performers and/or designers on at least three different performances. The focus of Drama at the College remains on creating new work, rather than simply re-imaging or re-interpreting the work of others. We encourage students to work as an ensemble and to focus on creating altruistic opportunities to give back to their local communities. We do not seek to create lead roles or make theatre about the talent of individuals; instead, we choose to focus of the power of ensemble theatre that educates in as much as it entertains. We hope you would like to be part of that vision!
