    Example Candidate Responses (Component 3 Theatre-making and performing)

    • Introduction

      The main aim of this resource is to exemplify standards of Cambridge International AS & A Level Drama, Component 3 Theatre-making and performing, and show how different levels of candidates' performance relate to the subject's curriculum and assessment objectives. 

      Candidate responses have been selected from the June 2022 series to exemplify a range of  candidate performances. All the candidates seen in the videos were contacted and they provided permissions to use the videos from their practical drama submission. 

      The videos are followed by moderator comments on how and why marks were awarded so that you can understand what candidates have done to gain their marks and what they could do to improve their performances.  

    • Assessment criteria

      • Part 1 Group devised drama (40 marks)

      • Part 2 Individual Performance (20 marks) 

  • Now that you have read the assessment criteria, you may want to practise marking the performances. Watch the videos below, make a note of the strengths and weaknesses of the candidate and give a mark, before you read the moderator comments and marks below.
