This course allows students to develop their acting skills, directing and devising skills; and to further develop their understanding of the history of theatre, influential practitioners and playwrights. The course is equally practical and academic and students will work in groups for performance units and study of set texts. Students will work individually for reviews of live theatre productions, practitioners and playwrights at work. To complete the course students will be required to sit a written exam on set texts and live performances as well as present practical performance work to an invited audience in both Years 12 and 13. Please note, to complete this course it is essential to visit the theatre up to four times each year and to purchase plays for practical performances. Therefore it is advised that there will be a cost of approximately 50-60 pounds sterling per year to complete the course.
Name: Drama Qualification title: GCE A Level in Drama and Theatre Studies Qualification type: Assessment Students should be aware that this course requires a commitment to working with others towards deadlines. Group work homework will be necessary and therefore students will be required to rehearse after school and during directed study periods. To ensure that AS Level Unit 1 is completed students will be required to take part in all organised visits to the theatre and will be encouraged to see as much performance work as is possible. Written exams will take place in May of each year and the practical performances in March or April. The written exams are externally set and marked, whereas the practical work is internally assessed and then moderated by a visiting AQA moderator.
