SUBJECT

Drama

What are lessons like in this subject?

Drama is a practical subject and you will spend your lessons in either the professional John Godber theatre or the specialist drama studio. You will explore themes, concepts and set plays in a practical way, and work with others to develop skills in teamwork, collaboration and communication. In addition, you will have the opportunity to work independently on coursework and exam skills.

What will I study?

Component 1 - Theatre Workshop. You will participate in the creation, development and performance of a piece of theatre based on a reinterpretation of an extract from a play using the techniques and working methods of either an influential theatre practitioner or a recognised theatre company. Component 2 - Text in Action. You will create and perform two pieces of theatre based on a stimulus supplied by Eduqas. You will have to perform live to a visiting examiner. Component 3 - Text in Performance. You will study ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’, Accidental Death of an Anarchist’ and ‘A Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night.’ There will be a written examination and it will count for 40% of the course.

What our
students

say

I enjoyed studying the drama A-level course as it helped my grow in confidence and further both my theory and practical abilities in the subject. Working with lots of different people with their own individual ideas was really interesting and also benefited my own work.
