This course is a BTEC Extended Certificate in Performing Arts, equivalent to an A Level. Spread over two years, the Performing Arts course covers a wide spectrum of performance based units in order for learners to experience every medium of drama and theatre. Learners will develop the technical and interpretative skills necessary to work in many areas of the performing arts. Learners will explore the means and processes of characterisation, interpret texts, develop material for performance through rehearsal as well as participating in performances of rehearsed material. Although the emphasis is on practical work, the course does contain elements of both theory and written work.
Ideally you will have a grade 4 in English Language. You must have the required qualifications for the Advanced Pathway.
Assessment is carried out over the two years of the course through practical drama sessions, written projects, presentations, essays and performances. There are two externally assessed units as part of the course. You will have the opportunity to discuss possibilities for pathways through two core units plus two Specialist Units.
