The BTEC in Performing Arts will provide you with the fantastic opportunity to explore the subject in a practical and creative way, developing invaluable skills, both theatrical and transferable, to expand your horizons. In addition to fostering critical and creative skills, Performing Arts also increases confidence and leadership skills along with training in team work. At Shebbear College the BTEC will specialise in Acting and Drama and we will explore this in a range of ways including the study of different play texts and practitioners, responding to direction and creating original devised performances. You will develop your understanding of performance and study a variety of theatre styles. As part of the course, you will have the opportunity to go on a range of exciting Theatre trips as well as attend practitioner workshops with a variety of visiting theatre companies. The course is equivalent to one A-Level and can be studied alongside a combination of other subjects – A-Level or BTEC.
There are no specific entry requirements but the course will suit pupils who prefer the practical, hands-on approach to studies and who have an interest in all aspects of a performance.
You will be assessed through a combination of externally assessed performances and work and internally assessed coursework.
