What the college says
Performing Arts is incredibly important within education because it can make a profound difference to the personal as well as the academic and professional development of the student. The overarching aim of Performing Arts at the UTC is to broaden participation in Performing Arts within Tower Hamlets. London is one of the most bustling centres of culture in the world and ample opportunities exist for our students, and our job is to help them access this world. The subject is very well suited for vocational training because it is project based and provides experience of a large range of roles within the industry. Our ‘why’ for teaching performing arts is embedded in curriculum rationale as we aim to introduce students to the professional world of performing arts and production. The desired result is to provide students, who may have little knowledge of these sectors, with a ‘professional’ experience in theatre.
