Drama

Course summary

This course is an exciting and inspiring programme which prepares you for further study in Higher Education whether in Drama and Theatre or any other subject area. The transferable skills on offer range from developing your confidence, teamwork and public speaking abilities, as well as practising your research skills and creative thinking. You are given the opportunity to work as either performers and/or designers on three different performances. In Component 1 you will reinterpret a text to create a piece of theatre which is a combination of the selected text and original ideas. In Component 2 you will use a stimulus to create two pieces of theatre; similar to work completed at GCSE. In both components you are encouraged to make connections between dramatic theory and your own practice including a continued focus on voice, movement and interaction skills. Component 1 and 2 are completed by April in Y13 leaving ample time to prepare for Component 3 in the summer term.
