About this course

The course covers performance skills, production techniques, and the practical craft behind live and recorded shows. You'll explore acting, dance, and the technical side of theatre over one year. No prior experience is required, though some background in theatre or shows is an advantage.

You'll finish with a University of the Arts London Diploma in Performing and Production Arts.
