About the exam
Learners flex their creativity muscles and build upon their collaboration skills as they create their own work for this exam, developing characters, crafting plots and writing their own scenes from scratch.
At the higher grades, the group will explore ideas like physical theatre, the chorus and narration. Throughout the qualification, they will expand their skills and demonstrate the development of their technique within the scenes they create.
Effective teamwork is essential for our Group exams. The group is graded as a whole, receiving one collective result for all their hard work.
