Specify the choice
Describe the vocal, physical or design detail you intend to use. “Create tension” is an aim; the answer also needs to show how you would create it.
Connect to the moment
Relate your decision to the scene, relationships and dramatic circumstances. Explain why it belongs at this particular point in the play.
Evaluate an audience effect
For live theatre writing, select a precise moment and discuss how the production communicated meaning. Move beyond saying that it was effective.
Respect the boundaries of assessed work
Private tuition should develop skills through independent practice. A tutor must not write your notebook or report, direct assessed work, or make assessed creative decisions for you. Check permitted assistance with your centre.
That is a useful question to ask. Share the titles and the component you want to work on before booking.
Yes, where the tutor has relevant design experience. You can practise explaining choices in lighting, sound, set or costume using separate examples.
No. Practical assessment and group work remain with your centre. Online lessons can complement that programme by developing understanding and written analysis.
