Drama and Theatre Studies

UPDATED 20161010 11:27:19

Since the emphasis in our GCSE Drama is on improvisation, devised work and performing, the Advanced GCE in Drama and Theatre Studies deliberately focuses on working with published and performed plays. The focus is on students working towards creating and understanding performance in all its facets. They will be asked to practically study and devise plays from the point of view of director, designer, performer and critic. The qualification is designed to enable students to acquire a knowledge and understanding of the language of drama and theatre as well as to develop their performance and analytical skills. Students need to operate at a highly intellectual level and show a very rounded theatrical skills base. The course demands practical, creative, analytical and communication skills in almost equal measure. It is useful to have taken Drama at GCSE level but not essential. You also need to be curious about issues and ideas and have a creative instinct for communicating your views through drama. You may be keen on acting, directing, writing, or on the visual and technical side of theatre and wish to develop your skills in some or all of these areas. Equally, you should be interested in going to the theatre to see plays performed by different theatre companies
