There will be direct connection to promote the capacity of personal evaluation to develop technically and to encourage an understanding of oneself as a performer and individual artist in a mature fashion.

Devised Professional Performance

This course module looks at the creation of a devised performance through the processes needed to successfully create a piece of theatre combining the disciplines of dance, acting and song. You will gain experience in working with a musical director to collaborate collectively in producing a professional performance through musical narrative. You will draw on previously learned skills in devising theatre to deliver a focused professional performance with effective integration of core technical skills and artistic performance.

Final Showcase

This module consists of audition, development, rehearsals and performance of a production in a professional theatre. You will audition for your role within the showcase in line with current industry practice. In dance auditions you will be expected to be able to pick up a routine with speed and execute it with excellent technique and appropriate style. In singing auditions, you will be expected to choose and perform your material with an intelligent understanding of necessary style and a confident and accomplished delivery. For the acting auditions you would be expected to have studied the given material and be able to perform it with the ability to convey character, style and intention. All auditions will be performed in front of the artistic team for the productions, in keeping with industry practice.

You will engage creatively and critically with the skills and processes of performance and production. You will be expected to demonstrate a highly skilled, engaging and sophisticated performance with a clear ability to convey intent to the audience. This module adheres to a professional working environment; the audition process, rehearsal period and the performance will replicate, as far as possible, a professional engagement. Individual student skills will be identified by tutors and aimed to be maximised at each showcase. The showcases will consist of relatively small groups of graduates, thus maximising potential for exposure. Each production will undergo an audition process in line with industry practice. Small casts allow equal opportunities for all students to be featured accordingly thus ensuring the best platform for exposure. To ensure that all students are showcased, shows will be tailored to include solo numbers, duets and trios and small ensemble numbers with featured tracks.
