A Diploma in Performing Arts can open doors to a wide range of careers in the creative industries, as well as to higher education. With a BTEC Diploma, students automatically qualify for membership to Equity, the leading UK trade union for professional performers and creative practitioners. From critical thinking and public speaking, to team work and collaboration, a Diploma in Performing Arts will help students to develop valuable skills that will help them to succeed; whether they choose to work behind the scenes in the Arts or on the West End stage. A student might just go on to win a Golden Globe, just like former BTEC student Idris Elba! Every unit achieved will be graded as pass, merit or distinction. Students who do not achieve a pass in a unit will be graded unclassified – so students must get at least a pass for every unit to be awarded the qualification they have entered for.
The Core Modules: Investigating Practitioners’ Work. Developing Skills and Techniques for Live Performance. Group Performance Workshop. Improvisation. Musical Theatre. Individual Performance Commission. Performing in the Community. Final Live Performance. There will be internal and external assessments through-out the 2 years. For each piece of practical work produced there will be a written assignment to complete. Our students are assessed on Acting as a discipline, but there are opportunities to sing and dance within several units. This is a two A Level equivalent course and students will select a further one or two A Levels or equivalent courses.
