Introductory Diploma in Performing Arts

West Thames College
London, United Kingdom

Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced

Course Description:

'' This course is mainly for young people who are interested in the performing arts, particularly in one of the three pathways: drama, dance, and/or music.

Entry Requirements:
You should have completed an entry level course or have GCSEs at grades E-G, and have an interest in the performing arts. You will be given an initial assessment by the college. If you have any questions about whether the course is right for you, please ask Admissions for advice

About the course
You will study core units including learning about how the performing arts industry works and the skills you will need to work in it, plus communications and numeracy. The course offers you a choice of four pathways which will be confirmed at enrolment: drama, music, dance, or makeup design with performing arts. Each pathway has a range of specialist units to give you practical skills including drama, dance, stage craft, computer music production, specialist makeup and camera work. At some points in the year when productions are scheduled, you will need to be in college for extra sessions to rehearse. There is a strong tutorial package and additional support is available to help with your studies.

Additional Opportunities
As part of the course we encourage and organise group visits to a range of venues including professional theatre and dance companies. In recent years students have visited media training companies and have danced on the stage at Sadler’s Wells as part of a dance assignment.

How will I be assessed?
Assessment is through assignment based work. The emphasis is on practical performance, although there is a certain amount of written work required. The work is graded into pass, merit and distinction. In order to achieve the diploma you are required to pass all areas of the course.

Where next?
When you complete this course you can go on to a BTEC First Diploma, Intermediate GNVQ, or NVQ Level 2. Because this is an introductory course it will not normally lead directly into professional performance work.
