A wide range of performance and contextual related activities. Two full scale productions in each year, in house shows and performances in the community. A mixture of both tutor led and practical sessions. The qualification comprises a combination of practical and theory-based assignments. You will also get the opportunity to perform for friends, family and members of the public on a number of occasions, go on a variety of trips and visits to theatres and shows and learn about setting up small theatre touring companies. We have strong links with The Royal and Derngate Theatre in Northampton and you will get the opportunity to attend workshops with professional practitioners and other companies. A wide choice of units to reflect the range of opportunities available within the performing arts sector. At Level 3, students have the option of a specialist pathway where they can take a learning route that fits with their individual career aspirations. It provides students with an understanding of performing arts through engagement with techniques, the work of practitioners, industry conventions and community projects. If you have not yet achieved a Grade 4(C) in GCSE Mathematics, you will also be working towards this qualification as part of your study programme. To get the most out of this course you will need to be enthusiastic, happy to work with others and confident to perform in front of an audience and alongside other arts disciplines.
