OCR A Level Drama and Theatre - Deconstructing Texts for Performance GUIDANCE WORKSHEET

This resource offers suggestions and structure for students studying the ‘Deconstructing Texts for Performance’ component within OCR A Level Drama and Theatre.

The resource focuses on Antigone by Jean Anouilh (from Sophocles) but could be easily adapted to the other set texts, as much of the advice is generic to any set text.

Guidance worksheets include:

• overview of the exam questions and their demands
• mark scheme criteria
• summary of key advice from the most recent report on the examination
• guidance on developing a directorial concept/vision for the play
• guidance on how to structure each question and respond to its demands
• a glossary of key terminology relating to acting, technical and design elements which a director might utilise (please see separate resource outlining the role of the director)
