What the college says

The qualification emphasises practical creativity alongside research and theoretical understanding. Students learn through experience, seeing theatre and making theatre for themselves. They are introduced to a wide range of theatrical styles and contexts as they explore plays practically, and devise and work on performances. Students choose to develop as a performer; designer (lighting, sound, set, costume, puppets) and director. Whichever option they choose, students will gain many invaluable skills, both theatrical and transferable, to expand their horizons.
