This practice-focused course aims to equip you with the skills you need to be an applied arts professional. Taught predominantly through practical activities, you will learn skills in performing, creating, facilitating and producing your own performance projects. The modules are designed to nurture your creative potential and individual artistic identity. You will explore performing arts practices from a wide range of global and local contexts and learn inclusive and diverse approaches to theatre-making. Additionally, you will learn how to use new technologies in performance as well as stage performances in unconventional places and digital spaces. By the end of the course, you will have set up your own company, staged your own theatrical performances, gained an LCME-accredited certificate in teaching performing arts and prepared a professional portfolio in preparation for entering the arts industry. Level-6 Top-up Option If you already have a relevant Level 5 qualification (such as a Higher National Diploma, NVQ Level 5 etc) then you can top this up to a full honours degree with our Level 6 Top-up course.
