The course has a strong emphasis on practical acting methods. You will participate in a variety of units including acting techniques, improvisation, physical theatre, voice, dance and singing. The skills developed in these units are then applied to theatre performances throughout the two years. The performing projects are designed to be a realistic experience of the theatre profession and will prepare you for higher education or a range of work opportunities in the industry. It is suited to learners who are committed to going into the performing arts and who appreciate the need for both the practical and academic skills to survive the rigours of the performing arts industry. Extensive practical work is undertaken and is combined with relevant theory and academic inquiry. You will need to analyse practical work in written evaluations and to write essays on texts and practitioners as required. There are a variety of modes of delivery including workshops, lectures, performances, tutorials, seminars and traditional classroom activities. In addition to your main programme, you will study English and Maths. Depending on your grades on entry, you will study either Functional Skills or GCSEs English and maths (one per year). You will complete the 90 Credit Diploma in your first year and continue to the Extended Diploma in your second year.
