You will develop your skills and versatility as a performer, director and designer. You will explore two set play texts in detail and learn about key theatre practitioners including Stanislavski, Artaud, Brecht, Boal and Brook. You will participate in skills development workshops where we apply theory to practice and explore a variety of play texts through performance. You will also work with your peers to create your own piece of devised theatre. You may specialise in Performance, Lighting or Sound Design, Set or Costume Design, Puppet Design or Directing.
The normal expectation for entry to our Sixth Form is six Grades 9 - 5 or equivalent at GCSE, but we do consider all applications on an individual basis, so if you have any concerns about meeting these grades please come and speak to Mrs C L Wheeler or Mr Smith, our Assistant Principal (Academic). A Grade 6 or above in Maths is required. You also really need to be studying A Level Mathematics due to the high level of mathematical skills required in Year 2 of the course. An interest in problem solving would be a useful attribute to bring to the course. You do not need any previous knowledge of computing to follow this course.
