FdA Performing Arts - Music Theatre:

This pathway is for students interested in furthering their performance skills and deepening their knowledge of the Music Theatre. Tutors include a wide range of specialists from the College's large, full-time Performing Arts team, supplemented by an intensive work experience project and a programme of workshops with visiting professionals.

The course comprises a mixture of practical and theoretical sessions with a strong emphasis on integration of the two elements. Modules include Music Theatre and Dance. It should be noted that Musical Theatre while comprising an important element of the course is not the sole focus.

Students will be continually assessed through a series of practical performances, written assignments and oral presentations. 100% attendance is expected to pass the programme. Students can progress to a one-year Honours top-up degree (Level H) or employment in a range of performance- related activities.
