A Level Drama

Assessment

Both Components 1 and 2 are designed to encourage learners to make connections between dramatic theory and their own practice. While preparing their practical work, learners will explore the work of two theatre practitioners (individuals or companies) of their own choice and then apply their research to their performances or designs. Learners are also required to watch at least two live theatre productions and learn about the processes and practices involved in interpreting and performing theatre. In Component 3, learners explore two complete performance texts and one extract from a third text. There is an exciting and diverse list of texts to choose from; centres must select one which was written before 1956 and one which was written after 1956.
