Performing Arts (Musical Theatre) BTEC Certificate/Subsidiary Diploma - Barnstaple

Course code: FTB085

The Programme

The course is split into six units or modules which may include study rehearsal and performance, singing, dance performance, voice and the possibility of variety performance. The main aim of the programme is to cover theatre productions which have a musical flavour.

The Programme Content

Students rehearse, perform in, organise and sometimes crew these productions in and outside of normal college hours. Students paint and construct sets, props and in some cases, light. They also provide sound and music for the shows - all while being advised and supported by staff. It is vital to note that all students will be expected to learn the basics of singing, dancing, acting and general music theatre performance. The course will go alongside an A Level programme of study.

Entry Requirements

Five GCSEs at grade C or above. Extra curricular involvement within the subject is beneficial.

Costs

There will be a studio fee of £10 per term (£30 per year) to cover the cost of essential equipment. You may also be expected to purchase items for use in class and performances. You will be expected to provide your own stationery*.

Venue

Barnstaple Campus
