Level 3 Drama

Course Description

Teacher in Charge:

Level 3 Drama focuses on consolidating students’ knowledge of the theatre, on non-text-based and physical theatre, as well as discovering new drama forms. The course is themed and looks at how theatre and performance are a reaction to both significant cultural and historical events, as well as a medium which asks crucial questions about what it means to be human. Those who are interested and willing to put in further time outside of class will have the opportunity to work towards the practical Scholarship Drama examination. Students will watch and write about live performances for their external examination and will complete 18 credits.

Drama demands a considerable time commitment and therefore an attendance rate of 85% is required. Course cost cover a day workshop with an external provider. All students are required to see two live professional performances.
