You will take part in workshops, rehearsals, and collaborative performance projects as you explore both on-stage and backstage roles.

– Acting techniques, voice work and movement
– Rehearsal processes and ensemble work
– Lighting, sound, costume, props and marketing

– Producing and performing to a live audience
The course has been created to provide a broad experience where you can discover what you enjoy, develop confidence, and build the transferable skills needed for progression in the arts. Units are designed to help you explore both performance and production, and you will work on real staging projects throughout the year, culminating in a final assessed performance.
How you will learn
You will train in professional studio spaces with access to specialist performing arts facilities and technical equipment. You’ll learn through practical workshops, group rehearsals, individual tasks, research, and collaborative productions; developing creativity, communication, teamwork and independence along the way. There are no written exams: you will be assessed through your practical work, rehearsals, portfolio development and final performance.
