Drama and Speech

Trinity Guildhall offer grade, certificate and diploma qualifications in drama and speech, communication skills, performance arts and musical theatre, providing a structured framework to encourage and assess candidates in the progressive mastery of a wide range of performance skills.

These examinations are designed to encourage candidates from all countries and cultures to engage with as wide a variety of performance activities and materials as possible while developing their skills within an integrated framework of assessment.

Examinations may be taken by individuals, by pairs or by groups of three or more.

All the examinations offer candidates opportunities to demonstrate performance skills appropriate to their individual interests and aspirations.

Candidates for solo and pair examinations additionally undertake various tasks that enable them to display supporting skills such as sigh reading, story-telling and improvisation.

Candidates also engage with the examiner in conversation/discussion in order to display their knowledge and understanding both of repertoire and of the range of techniques that may be employed for effective and engaging performance.

Within the specific requirements of the syllabus, the choice of repertoire and performance pieces is entirely the candidate’s own.

There are no prerequisites for any of these examinations. Candidates may enter examinations at whatever grade they wish and it is hoped that they and their teachers will be encouraged to explore the opportunities offered across the whole range of syllabuses.
