Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

This exciting specification looks at all aspects of theatre making. By the end of the course you will have strengthened your ability to recognise and understand the interrelationship between performer, designer and director. You will have been provided with the opportunity to explore performance texts and you will have been encouraged to conceptually develop your own interpretation of how script might be realised in performance through the process of rehearsal. You will be able to reflect on the work of playwrights from a social, historical and cultural perspective. As an actor, you will continue to strengthen your performance skill base, participating in public performances of devised and scripted drama. The course will equip you with the skills to develop your creativity and independence to become an effective theatre maker.
