Inspiring Young People

Drama and Theatre

We hope you are looking forward to joining us in September 2024 to study A level Drama

We follow the Eduqas A Level Drama and Theatre Studies specification.

https://www.eduqas.co.uk/media/ajoj3t1p/eduqas-a-level-drama-spec-from-2016-e-19-10-23.pdf

When studying A’ Level Drama and Theatre Studies you will work practically to learn and develop a deeper understanding of how social, cultural and historical influences have had a definitive impact on the development of drama and theatre throughout the ages. You will explore a range of historical and contemporary, influential theatre practitioners and be given the opportunity to develop your own creativity and independence to become effective theatre makers through acting, directing and/or theatre design. You will experience a range of opportunities to watch and create live theatre through the reinterpretation of texts and devised work. You will also begin to understand the collaborative relationships between various roles within theatre, including directors, actors and designers. You will participate both as theatre makers and as audience members.

We hope you will be able to read, research and explore the resources below in preparation for September.
