CoursesDrama GCSEDrama at GCSE often involves aspects of acting, music, dance and performing arts. There are practical and written components - students will usually take the terminal exam at the end of Year 11 after having completed intermediate assessments and minor coursework(s) thorughout the course. Drama is not an easy subject to take. Infact it can be very challenging, even if you have a good amount of confidence and an ability in acting. Drama involves team work, group motivation, personal challenge, imagination, good writing skills, evaluating techniques and extra effort. It is difficult to achieve the highest grades in this subject as little marks can be lost. The final section is the 'acting paper' and this is where you assessed on your ability to devise, create a interesting and enjoyable piece, and act. The rest of the GCSE tests skills such as how you respond to a stimulus and your ability to evaluate. You have to try in drama, it is not as easy as people may think - it involves hard work and determination.
Drama A LevelAt A Level, Drama can have a much more theatrical emphasis, i.e. Drama A-Level looks at the value of theatre of stage presence during your studies; looking at more on the text being followed itself, as opposed to just the way in which it is acted out. For this reason, there is often one whole paper comprised of just written questions about the play or narrative in question.
