The following information provides support for teachers interpreting the Performance marking key and suitability of dramatic action for the repertoire selected. Dramatic action
Drama is action. When you are ‘in role’ – in other words, taking on a character other than your own, as you do when you are in a play or a musical – you are enacting something. You are using action and action is the basis of role. Action – this dramatic action – has a range of dimensions. It can be physical action, where you use the capability of your body through facial expression, posture, gesture and movement, through space and time. For example, a song in a musical might communicate a sense of happiness and this could be shown by the way the character smiles and holds his/her body in anticipation. It can also be psychological action, where you communicate to an audience the thinking and emotional actions of the role. For example, a character might be experiencing a moment of life-changing decision as they realise their long-held belief in something is crumbling. The audience need to go on that emotional journey with the character. Psychological action is often expressed through physical actions. In the example just given, this may be shown by, say, the character moving from looking at the photo of a partner to slowly tearing up the image as the moment of realisation is recognised. Drama is the symbolic representation of action, designed to communicate to an audience. Dramatic action is the focus of creating a role or character in drama. Dramatic action can be subtle. It does not have to be overtly signalled (as in, say, an old-fashioned silent movie). The point of dramatic action is in how it communicates the sense of person, place and purpose of a character in a particular moment of change and transformation . When singing a song in music theatre, there is a sense of a character on a journey. Through dramatic action, this journey is made evident to the audience.

GENERIC REPERTOIRE The generic jazz repertoire listed below, is applicable for the jazz instruments listed in this resource package. This provides students with the ability to study repertoire either using a recorded backing accompaniment or performing as part of an ensemble. At least 75% of the repertoire must demonstrate an ability to solo and/or demonstrate stylistically appropriate improvisational techniques. STAGE 2
The focus should be on mainly blues in (at least) 2 keys, and modal tunes. The focal point should be on tunes with slow harmonic rhythm with a few other ‘key centre’ type tunes.
