Key Facts
Course
Content
A core element of the qualification
involves collaborating with a professional theatre company on a full-scale
production, where students take on both a performance role and a production or
administrative role. Students will also complete a research project on the
performing arts topic of their choice, with the option of using practical work
as part of their research.
The remainder of students' study comprises
optional modules that allow students to pursue their own specialism, including
both dance and drama pathways. These optional modules cover acting and staging a
text, performing dance and film and digital performance. There is also an
independent project module that allows students to focus on and further develop
a particular area of interest, for example directing, acting, choreography, arts
administration, or teaching. This module also offers the opportunity for
students to carry out a work placement in the performing arts sector. Students
can progress into teaching, performing, post-graduate study or working in the
performing arts sector (including community or applied theatre or dance
work).
Modules
This degree includes three compulsory modules:
- Company Performance
- Research Project and at least 1 module (30 credits) from either Performing Dance or Performing Text.
- The remaining modules will be chosen from Digital Performance, Creative Lab or Performing Arts in the Community.
