What the college says

This course is for those who have a background in drama or performing arts, either through the examinations they have already taken, or from an interest they have pursued in their own time. You do not need to have completed any formal training or have any previous Drama experience. All we ask is that you must be passionate about Drama, understand there is a requirement to perform to an audience and be open to working as part of a team. You need to be open minded and resilient, with a positive attitude towards learning new styles. We follow the Eduqas specification which, gives a good balance between the academic rigour required to follow the subject further into Higher Education, whilst allowing each student the freedom to develop their own skills as an actor.
