We welcome all enthusiastic and committed students onto this course. We will help you build your skill levels and experience, so long as you meet the entry requirements. The BTEC Extended Certificate offers a specialist qualification that focuses on particular aspects of practice within the Performing Arts.. Equally, this Extended Certificate offers a focused qualification for students who wish to improve their skills in one or more of the Performing Arts, whilst studying other Sixth Form courses. In this course, you will study six or seven units, all related to aspects of the Performing Arts, which consist of one core unit, plus six other specialist units. Core Unit: Performing to an Audience. Specialist Units: Various aspects of Drama, Theatre Arts, Singing and Dance. Examples are Singing Skills, Principles of Acting, Musical Theatre, and Theatre for Children, Variety Performance, Contemporary Drama, Devising, and Dance Skills. This course involves a large amount of practical activity, focusing on improving and extending learners’ skills. Students will be expected to take a full part in practical lessons. There are many opportunities to work independently, completing background reading, research, rehearsing or listening work. We expect that learners will word-process any written assignments, and so successful learners will quickly take control of their time-management and independent learning, to allow them to meet deadlines. Students should be prepared to dedicate a good amount of extra time to rehearsals and take part in the Sixth Form productions, as well as several other Collegeand course productions, as part of their course.
