Programme Content

We aim to help you become a more confident, rounded performer.
All three certificates include elements of acting, singing and dance.
About 50% of your time will be spent concentrating on developing your specialist performing skill. You also have classes in the other two performing arts disciplines and core classes.
The core classes include Professional Studies, which explores the performing arts economy, Acting Through Song and Repertoire and two performance project modules where you apply the skills learned in all three performing arts disciplines with an emphasis on your specialisation.
Teaching and Assessment
Our certificates are taught over our full teaching year and are delivered via a combination of practical workshop-style classes and rehearsal sessions, with some lectures and seminars. These largely practical courses are assessed through continual assessment of work in class, plus performances and written assignments.
The Foundation Certificates are in the process of review and revalidation with Liverpool John Moores University. As a result, there may be some changes to modules and delivery of classes for 2011.
