About the Course

You will improve your performance skills, study a range of drama forms and discuss texts critically and analytically. You will be expected to attend the theatre frequently. There are three components all of which have a written element: - the reinterpretation of a text using the ideas of a key practitioner or theatre company to include a log detailing decisions made - a devised piece based on a stimulus using the ideas of a different practitioner or theatre company, plus a scripted performance and a portfolio of written evidence - a written exam in Year 13 based on three set texts, part of which requires you to analyse live theatre.

Future Prospects

Drama develops confidence, teamwork and communication skills necessary to all career routes. Students can continue to study Drama at higher education.
