Drama and Theatre

Course summary

Year 12 serves as a basis for knowledge and skill development in Drama and Theatre as well as acting as a ‘mock’ for Year 13. Through practical workshops and research sessions, students will explore a range of theatre practitioners, styles and genres. In Year 12 students will begin to study and explore the set texts that are prescribed for the written examination in Year 13. Students partake in an assessed group devised performance and an assessed group scripted performance as well as various other individual and group performances and presentations. Candidates will have the opportunity to perform in front of invited audiences as well as going into the community to perform their theatre-in-education devised pieces to a primary school audience.
