Course Description 

During the year the students will explore a wide range of topics in dramatic texts such as war, identity and social issues. This course offers a balance between theoretical and practical learning, and will build on students’ understanding of the dramatic concepts and the creative decision-making processes.  At Level 3, students will be taught how to apply advanced dramatic concepts clearly in their performance.
