Welcome to A Level Drama & Theatre Studies

If you are reading this, then it means technology is working and you have found your way to the Drama and Theatre Studies summer work folder. Congratulations! You have passed the first challenge.

Speaking of challenges; Drama, at A Level, is a challenging, exciting rollercoaster of a ride which will stretch your imagination and develop your theatrical craft. With this in mind, we are asking you to engage and complete the following five tasks between now and September.

Some are practical, some are theoretical, and some require research; all will help prepare you for the start of your A Level adventure.

Full details of each task, resource materials and how to submit your work are Also posted in this Google Drive folder or below

Task#1: Who are Kneehigh? Research task into this Cornish based theatre Company.

Please note - sadly, Kneehigh Theatre company are no more, and a lot of their resources are rapidly disappearing from the internet. If you click on a dead link, please use your common sense, and the search facility, to find other articles about Kneehigh. The same goes for Kneehigh Windows - the official ones may have been taken down but they are still searchable on YouTube.

Task#2: Kneehigh Windows. Watch the different videos taking you through different practical theatrical projects - puppets, props and building sets. These will provide inspiration for Task#3.

Task#3: The Riddling Tale. Create your own 'Moving Postcard', using the Grimm Fairy Tale, 'The Riddling Tale' as your script / starting point.

Task#4: Watch the Andrew Scott monologue, Sea Wall. (warning, it is a weepy)

Task#5: Prepare and learn a 2-3 minute monologue for performance when we return in September.
