We believe that involvement in drama and theatre enables students to express themselves with more clarity and assurance. Students are encouraged to be independent through their research and exploration of dramatic texts and stimuli and to be effective in their participation and co-operation in rehearsals and performances. This course is principally aimed at students who wish to focus on performing skills rather than theatre theory. Those students who are looking to go to Drama School and acting as a career would benefit from this course. BTEC Performing Arts is a successful subject, achieving 100% Distinction Star/Distinction in 2014 and 2015. The Drama Department is a thriving and creative community and we welcome you to consider the BTEC Performing Arts Qualification. This course aims to strengthen the student’s acting and performing experience through developing improvisation skills and their ability to interpret scripts. The Drama Department is proud to offer this inspiring and exciting course. During the course students will work as a theatre company on term long projects that will encourage students to become more confident performers through the rehearsal and practice of key acting skills. Students will complete two mandatory units and two further units. Students will be given opportunities to attend live performances in order to expand their understanding of theatre. The Drama Department organises several theatre experiences for students – performances and workshops in school as well as theatre trips. Please visit the Drama pages on the school website for further information.
