Course summary

If you enjoy a lot of very practical involvement in the Performing Arts, especially being involved in all aspects of putting on a performance then this is the course for you. It could provide a qualification for going on to a Performing Arts related course in Higher Education, or direct entry to the Performing Arts industry. Students who have already completed the course have been very successful in moving into both areas. You must be prepared to be heavily involved in extra-curricular Performing Arts either in or out of college. Students may specialise in Acting, Dance or Musical Theatre within their qualification. The units covered in this BTEC are: • Investigating Practitioners’ Work • Developing Skills and Techniques for Live Performance • Group Performance Workshop • Jazz Dance Technique (dancers only) • Acting Styles (actors only) • Musical Theatre Techniques
