Drama and Theatre provides students with the opportunity to work as either performers and/or designers on three different performances. It encourages students to make connections between dramatic theory and their own practice. Students explore the work of two key theatre practitioners and apply their research to their own creative output. Students also learn about the processes and practices involved in interpreting and performing theatre by watching and analysing live theatre.
Academy Entry Requirements: A minimum of five GCSE grades 9 – 4. Grade 5 in Drama GCSE
The performance created for Component 1 (20% of the qualification) is internally assessed and externally moderated. In addition to the performance each student must produce a creative log which documents their creative process. The performances created for Component 2 (40% of the qualification) are externally assessed by a visiting examiner. Component 3 (40% of the qualification) is assessed by written examination.
