What will you study?
This course is very practical. You will study five different plays over two years and create three performances. One is devised and two are scripted including a monologue and a group piece. In addition, you will take a written exam and write from the viewpoint of both actor and a director. We will see live theatre and you will need to write about this in your exam. If you like hands-on Drama and are able to analyse your own work and that of others, this course will suit you.
Drama is a course that is recognised by universities and employers as something that shows you are a great communicator and have developed a number of skills. Many professionals regard Performance based courses as a supporting course for careers such as law and journalism.
Future Pathways
A level is an entry qualification for higher education courses in Drama and Theatre Studies, as well as an exciting range of Media. You will be prepared for a job in the theatre industry with an excellent understanding of theatre processes and production.
