"Come, let us sing to the Lord!  Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation"

Psalms 95:1 

Overview

Students will investigate practitioners and various genres of drama. They will work collaboratively to develop ideas to communicate meaning and experiment with dramatic conventions, forms and techniques to produce and realise a piece of original theatre. They will also have the opportunity to participate in the performance of an extract from a play text. Students will demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of drama, including their ability to interpret texts for performance, in a written examination.
