What will I study? Year 1 Course outline The Extended Certificate is for learners who are interested in learning about the Performing Arts sector alongside other fields of study, with a view to progressing to a wide range of Higher Education courses, not necessarily in Performing Arts. The course is split into four units: Unit 1: Investigating Practitioners’ Work Unit 2: Developing Skills and Techniques for Live Performance Unit 3: Group Performance Workshop Unit 28: Variety Performance Unit 1: Investigating Practitioners’ work In this unit, students develop skills that allow them to investigate the work of influential Performing Arts practitioners. Unit 2: Developing Skills and Techniques for Live Performance This unit serves as an induction into the Performing Arts where students develop the appropriate skills and techniques in one or more of the performance disciplines of acting, dance, musical theatre, physical theatre and variety/popular entertainment. Unit 3: Group Performance Workshop In this unit, students learn how to respond to a given stimulus as part of a group, using research, discussion and practical exploration to develop performance material and later present an informal presentation of the work to an invited audience. Unit 28: Variety Performance: In this unit, students investigate the key features of variety performance. The final performance will be a presentation evening showcasing the variety of skills students have developed. Year 2 In Year 13 students continue to work towards the Diploma which is the equivalent to two A Levels. Areas of study: Unit 4: Performing Arts in the Community Unit 5: Individual Performance Commission Unit 6: Final Live Performance to an Audience Unit 27: Musical Theatre Techniques.
