Group Devising Drama
About the Group Devising Drama exam
The Group Devising Drama exam gives learners the opportunity to create their own work together, developing characters and writing their own scenes.
Groups can be made up of between three and 15 learners, with every member helping to create the work before performing it together.
At the higher grades, the group will explore ideas like physical theatre, the chorus and narration. They will widen their skills and show off their techniques within the scenes they are creating.
Teamwork is essential. The group is graded as a whole, receiving one collective result for all their hard work.
This is a non-regulated examination.
