What the college says

Study two complete plays, perform a monologue or duologue. Our A-level Drama and Theatre offers students 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. Students will: • create, perform and respond to drama and theatre • develop the creativity and independence to become effective theatre makers • explore the relationship between theory and practice in a range of theatrical styles and periods and historical, social and cultural contexts • learn how relevant research, independent thought and analysis of live theatre production can inform decision making in their practical work and put this understanding into practice • experience the ways in which theatre makers collaborate to create theatre. The subject content details the knowledge, understanding and skills that students are expected to develop throughout the course of study. The subject content for A-level Drama and Theatre is divided into three components: 1. Drama and theatre 2. Creating original drama 3. Making theatre For the practical components students choose to work as performers, designers (design students may choose lighting, sound, set, costume or puppets) or directors. Guidance is provided in Guidance on theatrical skills
