The BTEC Performing Arts course offers students the opportunity to explore drama and performance as a practical art form, in which ideas and meaning are communicated to an audience through choices of form, style, and convention. The course also allows students to explore the industry as a whole and the impact external factors have on this industry. Students will: - Create, perform, and respond to stimuli - Develop the creativity and independence to become effective theatre-makers - Explore the relationship between theory and practice in a range of theatrical styles, practitioners, and historical, social, and cultural contexts - Learn how relevant research, independent thought, and analysis of live theatre production can inform decision-making in their practical work and put this understanding into practice - Experience how theatre makers collaborate to create theatre. - Develop practical performance skills
