Drama
Shenley Brook End School
Course summary
The course is structured over two years. It is taught in a very practical sense, focusing on elements of drama in performance and application of practitioners’ ideologies in performance. It combines the theoretical and textual work with practical experiences of theatre and writers, looking at styles and genres from ancient Greek theatre to modern and postmodern production techniques and values. Students will study several plays in a series of workshops and theatre visits. They will also present performances or technical theatre designs for examiners and a complete written examination on their experiences and knowledge of drama and theatre. This course builds on the skills learned in GCSE Drama, but is also accessible for students with a practical imagination and a good grade in GCSE English.
