What the college says
Theatre Studies is an A-Level that will develop not only your understanding of the theatre-at-large but also your own individual acting skills and a range of invisible skills that can be applied to any situation. Throughout the course you will learn to analyse your own performance but also those of professional actors and practitioners from the world stage. You will learn not only to direct and write original material, but you will also be given a ‘hands on approach’ to the technical side of theatre. You will also be encouraged to see a wide variety of performances from Shakespeare to musical theatre to help hence and reinforce your own ideas and style of performance.
