GCE A LEVEL in Drama & Theatre Studies

UPDATED 20161006 09:37:13

For AS you will cover a range of Drama from Shakespeare to the present day. You will study one set play in detail, concentrating on the interpretation of the play from a performance perspective. You will work in a group performing extracts from various plays, the final one being examined. You can choose to be examined as a performer or in another skill, e.g. Design, Costumes, Lighting or Direction. You will also go to the theatre to see a range of productions to prepare you for examination. For A2 you will study two further set plays in detail, focussing on the perspective of the director. You will also create devised performance exploring a specific dramatic style for your performance examination. You can choose to be examined in a particular skill, as for AS. For both AS and A2 you will be assessed by sitting written examinations and by demonstrating your practical skills. During the year you will be expected to write full length essays in preparation for your examinations. You will be able to gain a good deal of marks which go towards your final grade simply by showing that you can prepare well for the practical elements. Although you often work in a group, you are always assessed individually. Module title Description of work / Assessment method Completed 1.
