DRAMA AND THEATRE STUDIES WHY STUDY DRAMA AND THEATRE STUDIES? Drama and Theatre Studies is an academically rigorous subject, suitable for those with an avid curiosity about all aspects of theatre practice. The course will afford students an opportunity to study the subject in both its literary and practical forms, through the study of plays, writers and practitioners. The AS and A2 courses offer students the opportunity to gain an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the development of theatrical performance, researching and analysing the social, historical and cultural contexts in which writers, practitioners and performers have developed their form, for both artistic and political ends, and making connections through one thousand years of theatre practice, from the Tragedies of Ancient Greece, to the present day. Placing the development of their own practical work firmly within a secure knowledge and understanding of the historical development of theatre, students will be able to make intelligent and informed choices about form, writing, directing and acting style, in order to shape and develop their own work, ready for examination. AIMS OF THE COURSE To develop their interest and enjoyment in drama and theatre as participants and as informed members of an audience, fostering an enthusiasm for and critical appreciation of the subject. To develop understanding and appreciation of the significance of social, cultural and historical influences on the development of drama and theatre. To experience a range of opportunities to develop a variety of dramatic and theatrical skills, enabling them to grow creatively and imaginatively in both devised and scripted work. To integrate theory and practice through their understanding of critical concepts and the discriminating use of specialist terminology. SKILLS NEEDED FOR AND DEVELOPED IN THE COURSE An enquiring mind, with an interest in developing their interest and love of theatre as a literary, practical and experimental art form. To appreciate theatre as an evolving and expressive art form throughout history, in response to social and political change. To improve communication, through written analysis and practical performance. REQUIREMENTS FOR STARTING THE COURSE Candidates need not have studied GCSE Drama prior to this course, though this is preferred. Candidates must have the confidence to experiment and perform practically with a variety of theatrical forms, beyond that of ‘naturalistic’ performance, within their study group and in front of an audience. <strong>Course</strong> followed: Drama and Theatre Studies Examination Board: Edexcel 56
