What the college says

OCR's A Level in Drama and Theatre provides a fantastic curriculum to ignite and engage your creativity, passion and interests. Having separate performance and design components for the non-exam assessment allows you to follow your own interests and study either performance or design skills in depth. It also provides freedom for you to experiment and take risks with your work while working on developing your own style. This course is an exciting opportunity to develop your creativity, independent learning, critical thinking and effective decision making - all personal attributes that can make you stand out as you progress through your education and into employment. There are four components in the new specification; all of which will be externally assessed or moderated (Arrangements to be confirmed by Ofqual). Students will complete one practical devising project and one practical text based project. Students can take the following roles for practical work assessment: Performer, Lighting Designer, Sound Designer, Set Designer and Costume Designer. There will be a separate performer and designer route through the qualification. There will be two shorter written exams worth 20% each, totalling 40% of the qualification. Students will study five different texts over the two year course; two out of five texts will be centre choice. The remaining three texts will be a choice from a list of options set by the exam board. Students will also study two theatre practitioners and review
