Do you see exciting work on a professional stage and aspire to that level of brilliance? As a BTEC Performing Arts student, you’ll be part of a theatrical company and be passionate about developing your own performance skills.
You’ll develop technique, performance skills, creativity, the ability to critically comment and an understanding of how the performing arts industry operates. This course enables you to investigate influential professionals within the industry, develop and use skills as an actor, dancer and singer, create a portfolio of performances and learn about job roles within the industry. You will participate in a live assessed performance at the end of each year.
Five GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English Language. Experience of a performing arts subject at school or external club preferred.
You will develop your skills in drama, dance and singing for staging theatre performances and musicals. You will investigate successful practitioners’ work: describing, analysing and evaluating dances, plays and songs by influential choreographers, playwrights, drama practitioners, composers and lyricists.
The course and the performances you help stage will develop your skills as an actor, dancer and singer. You will work as part of a group to create performances in response to a specific stimulus. You will also study one specialist unit. These can include musical theatre, storytelling, jazz dance, singing techniques, acting styles, choreography, children’s theatre, improvisation or screen acting.
