The Drama and Theatre course offers you the opportunity to explore drama as a practical art form, in which ideas and meaning are communicated to an audience through choices of form, style and convention. You will create, perform and respond to drama and theatre. In addition you will develop creativity and independence to become an effective theatre maker. It is vital to highlight that the course explores the relationship between theory and practice in a range of theatrical styles and periods and historical, social and cultural contexts. As a theatre student you will have the opportunity to learn how relevant research, independent thought and analysis of live theatre productions can inform decision making in their practical work and put this understanding into practice. Playtexts will be selected on the group that have chosen that year and will be shared with you the summer before you begin the course. Practitioner books; The Frantic Assembly book of Devising, Brecht for Beginners - Micheal Thoss, The Director's Craft - Katie Mitchel
You must meet the specific requirements for the subject and, as a minimum, achieve at least 5 GCSEs at level 5 or above, including English and Maths. Due to the heavy weighting of marks on the written aspect it would be recommended that students have well-developed writing techniques.
Written Exam - 40% Practical Exam (Internal) - 30% Practical - Visiting Examiner - 30%
