The emphasis in this course is on drama and theatre in practice. You learn to be a practitioner of this art form. All the work you do is either practical or linked to practical. There are 2 progressive units each year. Candidates will gain knowledge and understanding of theatre practice through their own engagement with the medium as both participant and informed audience member. Candidates will develop performance and/or production skills appropriate to the creation and realisation of drama and theatre. At A Level, the specification provides candidates with the opportunity to develop skills and extend and apply knowledge gained at AS level. Candidates will demonstrate a more advanced level of performance and/or production skills alongside the ability to think independently, make judgements and refine their work in the light of research. They will also demonstrate the ability to analyse the ways in which different performance and production elements are brought together to create theatre. This subject is useful if you want a career in the Performing Arts or media industry or are looking to pursue any degree or career in the Arts. Drama helps with any career that involves a high level of communication with others e.g. teaching, management, sales and promotion, human resources. This is an option to choose if you are interested in doing an A Level with a high level of creative and practical work. It will also show on your CV that you have good communication skills, are creative and a good team player.
