What the college says

BTEC Drama takes a holistic view of Drama education at Post-16 level. The course is delivered in a vocational context; therefore the majority of study will take place in our purpose built drama studio and the students will make up part of Rebus Theatre Co, Lutterworth College's own Theatre Company. There is a theoretical element to the course where students will develop knowledge on two key Drama practitioners and will demonstrate these skills through a written task in controlled conditions. Practically, students will be assessed in a variety of contexts; solo, duo and large group performances and will also be assessed on their ability to work as an effective company member. Students will be required to take part in regular self-assessment and evaluation in order to develop their skills; this information will be kept in a Performers logbook. Practical work will be performed in shows to live, paying audiences as well as to other schools, through studio performances and younger peers. The 2 year course is made up of 4 units and is the equivalent 1 A Level.
