The Programme

The Programme Content
The course is split into six units or modules; the modules all relate to Performing Arts. Students will study areas that include or relate to Movement, Use of Voice, Rehearsal and Performance, Devising or Performing from play texts, culminating in a final major public performance that will be organised and promoted by the students themselves. The main aim of the programme is to introduce students to theatre productions and to learn how to prepare for professional performance. Students rehearse, perform, administrate and organise their own productions under staff guidance in our purpose built studio. They may also have the opportunity to paint and construct sets and props where appropriate and in some cases, light and provide sound and music for the shows.
