This course is an exciting and inspiring programme which prepares you for further study in Higher Education whether in Drama and Theatre or any other subject area. The transferable skills on offer range from developing your confidence, teamwork and public speaking abilities, as well as practising your research skills and creative thinking. You are given the opportunity to work as either performers and/or designers on three different performances. In Component 1 you will reinterpret a text to create a piece of theatre which is a combination of the selected text and original ideas. In Component 2 you will use a stimulus to create two pieces of theatre; similar to work completed at GCSE. In both components you are encouraged to make connections between dramatic theory and your own practice including a continued focus on voice, movement and interaction skills. Component 1 and 2 are completed by April in Y13 leaving ample time to prepare for Component 3 in the summer term.
A grade 6 in Drama or in a related subject (eg English or Dance) if you have not taken it at GCSE. It is advised that students wishing to enrol without having taken GCSE Drama have significant experience in performance and speak to Mrs Hughes before selecting this option. A genuine interest in all forms of drama and theatre, plus the ability to work with others, be adaptable, and cope with performance to an audience and examiners.
