Categories Assessment Type Weightage

Pre-release Material Written examination 100%

Written Examination

The questions on this paper relate to the pre-release material which is sent to Centres in the
December preceding the examination by CIE.

The pre-release material consists of:

• three stimuli such as short titles, poems, pictures, songs, historical events, stories, etc.
Candidates should work in groups of between two and six performers to devise and
perform a piece of drama based on one of the stimuli. The piece should last
approximately 15 minutes. In the Written examination candidates will be required to
reflect on, and evaluate, aspects of their practical work.
• an extended extract from a play (or an abridged version of an entire play) taken from
repertoire from a variety of genres, countries and periods. Candidates should study the
extract to enable them to understand both the text and the practical aspects of production.
The question paper is structured as follows:

• Section A (30 marks): Candidates answer 6–8 short-answer questions on the extract
from the play (20 marks) and 2–4 questions on the piece devised from their chosen
stimulus (10 marks). Candidates must answer all questions in this section.
• Section B (25 marks): Candidates answer one longer-answer question from a choice of
three on the extract from the play.
• Section C (25 marks): Candidates answer one longer-answer question from a choice of
three on the drama they have devised from their chosen stimulus.

Questions will cover a variety of aspects of:

• Acting (e.g. interaction, pacing, physicality, proxemics, role, vocal expression*)

• Devising (e.g. characterisation, contrast, structure, tension*)
• Directing (e.g. advice to actors, directorial concept, mood, staging*)
• Design (costume and make-up, lighting, props, scenography, set, sound)

* These examples are not exhaustive and candidates should also be familiar with other dramatic
features as appropriate.

In all three sections of the question paper, the questions assume that candidates have performed
both the extract from the play and the piece they have devised based on their chosen stimulus.
Candidates’ answers should show practical and theoretical understanding of the pieces they have
performed.

Candidates are advised to divide their time equally between the three sections.

A clean copy of the pre-release material will be provided in the examination.
