Study in a multidisciplinary way – which you'll know is reflective of the industry. Experiment with new things, create a personal pathway with a focus on dance, drama, or musical theatre, or a mix of all three. Personalise your studies to suit your evolving interests and aspirations. Build the necessary skills to succeed in Higher Education, recognise your own strengths and idiosyncrasies, and establish yourself as an employable practitioner.

 

Whether you wish to dance, act, devise, choreograph, teach, or facilitate, this course will give you the skills, techniques, confidence, and experience to be industry-ready. You'll develop as a creative and versatile individual; we want you to graduate with the best opportunities possible that'll prepare you for a successful career in the performing arts world.

 

Successful completion of this course will qualify you for Spotlight adult performer membership.

 

Teaching is largely studio-based with supporting lectures, seminars, workshop discussions, and independent learning. All modules integrate theory and practice; tasks and problem-solving which engage you in interactive learning.
