UPDATED 20161003 12:24:25

“This specification combines the activities of exploring plays, creating theatre, the performing of plays, the analysis of theatre and the critical evaluation of all of these elements. Students completing the course successfully will have a thorough understanding of drama and theatre, highly toned analytical and creative skills and an ability to communicate effectively with others.” Students will be taught through practical and theory based lessons. With an emphasis on practical exploration of plays, students will analyse, practice and reflect to develop their understanding and interpretation of the texts set. They will rehearse and perform to live audiences as a group as well as delivering monologues and duologues. Students are also given the opportunity to develop their independence by creating their own original piece of drama. Finally, students written skills will be tested through writing a theatre review, evaluating their work and analysing their understanding of a variety of play texts. Students will be given the opportunity to visit the theatre over the two years of the course to experience a variety of live performances.
