Description: This unit gives students the opportunity to develop one discipline within performing arts (Performance or Production) and then apply this discipline in a performance context. To develop the discipline, students will work individually and in groups of between two and nine. They will explore two contrasting extracts from a range of existing material including musical scores, set works and published extracts. This is a practical based subject. You do not have to be a GCSE Drama student. GCE Performing Arts also suits GCSE Art, Music and Technology students as practical performances can be assessed with Music, Costume and Set Design, as well as Drama, Directing, Stage management and Dance.
