A REAL springboard into
Performing Arts
Have you ever dreamed of a career in the entertainments industry? Do you enjoy performing? Could performance act as a springboard into other professions, or as a means of progressing onto further training or into Higher Education? If you’re interested in the Performing Arts, Acting, Dance or Theatre, we offer a whole range of exciting courses, giving you a REAL opportunity to follow your dreams.
Our diverse range of Performing Arts courses encompasses theatre, dance and musical theatre at all levels – from an Introductory BTEC qualification at Level 1 to BTEC First Diplomas at Level 2, a range of National Diplomas at Level 3, and the Higher National Diploma at Level 4, all complemented by a range of AS and A2 Levels. Programmes contain a large practical element and are mainly assessed through assignment work.
Performance plays a large part in most of our learning programmes, with opportunities to perform in college and outside at a variety of venues. You’ll have the opportunity to visit theatre and concert venues to see a range of professional work and take part in workshops with professional companies.
Learners have participated in major productions at local professional venues, touring the county’s schools, performing in cabaret, outdoor theatre, community centres, concerts and contemporary dance events, as well as an extensive programme of dance, music and theatre in our own college venues.
Careers advice about further study opportunities at other colleges, dance, drama and music schools and universities is available and our record of progression is excellent, with alumni attending a range of universities and specialist colleges. We have an established reputation for excellence in this area of work and hope to build on this in the future.
