The Level 1 Performance & Production course provides an exciting introduction to the world of performing arts, music and production arts.
A minimum of 3 GCSE subjects at grade 2, ideally including English and Maths. You will be invited to a meeting to discuss further and for you to show your genuine interest in Performance and Production.
This hands-on program covers key skills in acting, dance/movement stagecraft, and behind-the-scenes production techniques. You will explore performance styles, develop your creativity, and gain practical experience in areas such as lighting, sound, and set design. With a focus on collaboration and creativity, this course builds a solid foundation for you to pursue further studies or careers in the Performance and Production industry.
You will also be required to study GCSE maths and/or English if you have not achieved a grade 4.
You will typically be in College three days per week which will also include any GCSE English and/or maths resits you may need to undertake. In-College delivery is supported by online resources and potentially trips and visits to support primary research within project work.
There is continuous assessment of project/assignments throughout the programme. These may include performances, presentations, practical or written work. All units are assessed and an overall grade (Pass, Merit or Distinction) for the course will be awarded.
This is a full-time course. It is not possible to combine this course with other Vocational, Apprenticeship or A Level programmes.
This course is a stepping stone towards a career in Performance and Production. After this course, you would apply for the Level 2 Diploma in Performing Arts or Music Performance & Production, another Level 2 course in the College or use your skills in employment.
