Creating devised work for practical assessment at GCSE Drama, without using naturalism

The aim of this scheme of work is to prepare students to create non-naturalistic devised work for the Component 2 unit of the AQA GCSE Drama course. It is a six-activity plan about how to start and create non-naturalistic performance work and how to link certain aspects of the devising log. These lessons are physical and active in their approach. The activities lead to a very symbolic, non-naturalistic short performance which does require students to think ‘outside of the box’.
