A devised piece starts from nothing but a stimulus and a group — what turns that into theatre, and why the record of how you made it is assessed at all. Stimulus to intention; structure and form as decisions; the Ofqual rules you cannot devise around; the devising process in the DfE's own order; a stimulus turned into an intention in three moves; four practitioners and what each would do with it. Twelve terms to define, a model answer on developing an idea from a stimulus, and the misconceptions that cost marks.
A script gives you the words and a few directions — where the voice, the body and the space actually come from. Reading like an actor: given circumstances, objective, stage directions; vocal and physical choices, with distance and height drawn; space and sightlines under Shakespeare's Globe; an exchange from Wilde, out of copyright and verified against the text, and the four things an actor decides in it; one moment built in three moves. Eleven terms to define, a model answer on playing Lady Bracknell, and the misconceptions that cost marks.
Why the same scene plays differently in the round, on a thrust and behind an arch — and what a designer decides before a word is spoken. Five configurations drawn in plan; the designer's five decisions in the DfE's own words; how to answer a design question in four moves; three theatres photographed, three audience relationships; five lighting states and what each is for. Twelve terms to define, a model lighting answer, and the misconceptions that cost marks.
You saw the play — why 'the acting was really good' is worth almost nothing, and the sentence that earns instead. What counts as live, in the DfE's words; analysis and evaluation as two different jobs; one moment, closely; the evaluative paragraph as four moves that repeat; Ofqual's four objectives and what each is worth; one evaluative sentence built from a moment. Ten terms to define, a model answer on voice and movement, and the misconceptions that cost marks.
The previews above are the full sheets, watermarked. Where a sheet carries photographs,
every one is public domain worldwide or licensed CC BY, verified per image against the
licence itself rather than a label, and the running foot names every creator, records that
the images have been cropped and adjusted for print, and links the licence; figures are
drawn in code for the sheet, and extracts are written for it or verified against a
public-domain text. Nothing on any sheet is reproduced
from a past paper, a mark scheme, an examiner report or a specification, and Empower
Educators is not affiliated with any awarding body.
