Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

This course explores many aspects of theatre, including acting, improvisation, dramatic theory and the study of plays both in production and as classical and modern set texts. You must be prepared to work academically, to co-operate practically in groups, and to give freely of your time outside normal lessons, including holiday time. You should also enjoy visiting the theatre frequently. The course is delivered through both practical and academic lessons. We shall study two contrasting plays and make visits to live theatre productions in the West End and elsewhere. Pupils will study the work of two Theatre Practitioners, create their own Devised Drama and act from two published plays. At the end of the course, there are two written exams.
