This standard asks you to create an original drama from scratch and perform it to bring a concept to life. You'll need to work through a creative process of discussing, experimenting, and refining your ideas, then show how your finished performance communicates your concept clearly to an audience.

- ·Write a brief statement of intention that explains your concept and describes the role, time, place, situation, and action of your drama
- ·Perform your devised drama to realise (bring to life) your concept
