Drama and Theatre Studies is and exciting course for people who love drama and theatre and it is made up of a mixture of practical and theoretical work. You will be graded in a variety of ways such as completing controlled assessment, performance exams (examined both internally and externally) and a written exam. You will be required to demonstrate analytical skills as well as a creative and innovative approach towards performance. Year 2 A2 Work: (Year 13) Unit 3: This unit requires the creation of a unique and original piece of theatre. The knowledge and understanding gained in the AS units can now be applied to a created production. Students will be assessed on both the process of creation and the finished product in the form of a performance to an invited audience. Students will be assessed on the research and development of their work as well as the final performance in front of an identified audience. They are also required to complete an evaluation on both the process and performance of their work. Written evidence will be required reflecting the research and development work as well as a video/DVD of the final performance. Unit 4: This externally examined written unit requires the detailed study of one set play text and one prescribed historical period of theatrical development. This externally assessed unit takes the form of a 2-hour-and-30-minute written paper in three sections. Sections A and B require students to explore one play, from a choice of three set play texts, from the point of view of a director in both an academic and practical way. In Section C a selection must be made of one from a choice of three historic periods of theatre history. A live performance of a play from the chosen period must be experienced and evaluated and a comparison made with the original staging conditions of the play.
