Drama & Theatre Summary
Theatre is all around us! From the interactions we have with one another, to the stories we tell and to the roles we take on every day of our lives. A-Level Drama & Theatre allows us to find imaginative and innovative ways of creating original performance material for a contemporary audience. It provides scope to perform the work of recognisable and distinguished playwrights. It offers numerous opportunities to critically analyse and evaluate live performance work. It encourages the study of contemporary and classical playwrights, directors, and practitioners of drama. Importantly, this course encourages a critical and imaginative response to the creation of drama and theatre from the perspectives of an actor, designer, and director. The course is largely practical, but with the academic rigour underpinning every element of study, making it a desirable course for those considering further study in Higher Education. This is a very varied and highly enjoyable course for students who are creative, enthusiastic, and highly aspirational.
