Performing Arts Level 1

You will be work­ing both inde­pen­dent­ly and in small groups in our ful­ly equipped rehearsal rooms, record­ing facil­i­ties and stu­dio the­atre. Much of your time will be spent learn­ing the­o­ry and prepar­ing mate­r­i­al for per­for­mances and assessments.

No for­mal entry qual­i­fi­ca­tions are required, but an inter­view and audi­tion are nec­es­sary where you’ll dis­play a desire to work in the per­form­ing arts indus­try. For your audi­tion you may per­form a piece of music or a mono­logue of your choice.

There are no exams for this course. You will build a port­fo­lio of work for each of the units and com­plete a mix­ture of per­for­mance based prac­ti­cal assess­ments along with ongo­ing log­books, research and evaluations.

You will be required to wear plain black clothes that you can move freely in for all prac­ti­cal per­form­ing arts lessons.

On suc­cess­ful com­ple­tion of this course, you will be able to audi­tion for the Lev­el 2 Per­form­ing Arts. This course also aims to build con­fi­dence and com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills that are trans­fer­able to and desir­able for a num­ber of dif­fer­ent indus­tries and vocations.
