You will extend your ability to create Drama and Theatre, either in a performing or production role. Students learn through experience, seeing theatre, and making theatre for themselves. Students are introduced to a wide range of theatrical styles and contexts as they explore plays practically, and devise and work on performances. This Advanced GCE can lead to further study in Drama, Theatre Studies, and Performing Arts in Higher Education or HND level. It can be used to broaden your studies and may lead to a career in the performing Arts industry, options include; Crewing, Technical Theatre, Theatre in Education, and Arts Education. Some students go on to study Journalism, TV production, Radio production, Acting for TV, Film, and Radio, and even careers in Law and Social Work.
At least 5 GCSEs at grade 5 or above, including Maths and English Language. This can include up to 2 BTEC level 2’s at Merit of above. Entry on Pathway 1 will allow students to choose up to 4 courses from the full range of A Levels & Diplomas. It is useful to have taken Drama at GCSE level but not essential. It is important that you are interested in gaining a greater understanding of how theatre and plays work, and that you are keen to be involved with performances, as part of your course. Ideally you should have an active interest and extracurricular involvement in the subject area.
A mix of examination, performance, and reflective journals.
