Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

This exciting and inspiring specification provides students with the opportunity to work as either performers and/or designers on three different performances. In Component one, students reinterpret a text to create a piece of theatre which is a combination of the selected text and original ideas. In Component two, students engage with a stimulus to create two pieces of theatre: one an interpretation of a text of their own choice and the other a devised piece. In Component three, students explore two complete performance texts (pre 1956 and post 1956) and one extract from a third text to be chosen by the student.
