You will undertake a broad range of skills based and theory based units which may include: Applying Acting Styles, Physical Theatre, Dance Performance, Theatre for Children, Contemporary Theatre, Singing for Actors and Dancers, Historical Context of Performance, Performing Arts Business, Contemporary Dance, Auditions for Actors, Jazz Dance, Theatre in Education, Devising Plays, Rehearsing for Performance, Performing to an Audience and Site-Specific Performance. We believe that it is important to support you so that you can pursue a future in the performing arts, so the course will include helping you to improve and develop your communication skills with additional GCSE English and Maths where appropriate if you have progressed from a lower level vocational course. If you are coming directly from school you must have GCSE English language at grade C. You will receive group and individual tutorial support to keep you on track and if needed additional learning support is available.

Course programme
At level 3 you will be required to become a self-managed learner building on skills you have developed at previous levels either at college or in school. The expectation at level 3 is that you are mature, professional, reflective and motivated. You should be able to seek appropriate support where required and complete work independently. Level 3 courses will provide opportunities for higher level practical skills but also an understanding of the historical context of the performing arts.
