Student learning at KS5 continues the strands of creating, performing and responding whilst refining the academic aspects of the subject. The A Level in Drama and Theatre is a practical, engaging, and creative course. It will provide learners with opportunities to cross-examine drama and the work of others, to explore a range of theatrical genre and styles as a practical and theoretical art form, and to work independently to create their own drama performances making informed artistic choices. The main purpose of this qualification is to study drama and theatre in an academic setting; interrogating this art form and applying knowledge and understanding to the process of creating and developing drama and theatre. This will be in the form of their own written documentation and performance work. This course provides a fantastic opportunity to ignite and engage creativity, passion and interests. It provides freedom to experiment and take risks with their work whilst working on developing their own style. There will be opportunity for theatre visits and trips, professionally led workshops, links with local theatrical organisations and Arts University, watch performances and work with current students’ or professionals, and work experience placements during the course. Students also have the opportunity to start or continue private Drama tuition during enrichment time, with the choice of taking LAMDA exams in Acting which can contribute extra points to their University UCAS applications.
