Course Description:
A two-year course: AS in Year 1
leading to A2 in Year 2. The AS in year 1 includes two units: Unit 1A
Personal response to and evaluation of live theatre seen during the
course; 1B Study and interpretation of a chosen set text: Antigone,
by Sophocles. Unit 2 Performance of an extract from a published play,
together with presentation of preparation and development work and
supporting notes. Interpretation of the extract should show evidence
of being influenced by a significant theatre practitioner or theatre
company studied. The A2, (Year 2) includes two more units which are
more demanding and intensify the knowledge, understanding and skills
developed by students. Unit 3 Study of two further set texts from two
different time periods: pre-twentieth century and twentieth century
or contemporary drama. In Section A students answer 1 question from a
choice on each text and use a performance perspective. In Section B
students answer a single compulsory question and have to offer a
complete stage realisation of an extract from their chosen play text
applying their knowledge and experience from across the course. Unit
4: development and performance of a piece of Devised Drama, together
with presentation of preparation and development work and supporting
notes.
