DIPLOMA IN PROFESSIONAL MUSICAL THEATRE - 3 years, full time or BA (HONS) DANCE & THEATRE PERFORMANCE - 3 years, full time |
|
| Course Details: |
A Scholarship will be awarded to ONE student from either of the two courses detailed below.
DIPLOMA IN PROFESSIONAL MUSICAL THEATRE
This course is designed for those students with a specific vocational focus. It will equip them with the technical and creative skills necessary for a career in the performing arts.
This programme offers the students an intensive professional training. It aims to develop technical, artistic and creative skills to a professional level to prepare students for a successful and diverse career in Theatre Performance.
The diploma is principally a performance based programme with the majority of time dedicated to dance, drama and singing. The remaining time, approximately one quarter of the curriculum, is spent on developing awareness of the broader contexts essential within professional practice, such as Fitness, Health & Safety, Music Theory and Appreciation and History of Musical Theatre. These courses are taught through short lectures and practical workshops.
BA (HONS) DANCE & THEATRE PERFORMANCE
This course is a practically based degree programme providing the same amount of training and performance opportunity as the Diploma, with the increased academic rigour which can enhance career potential. The degree is validated by the University of Greenwich.
The college successfully integrates an intensive three year professional training with an internationally recognised degree level qualification. The programme is designed to produce highly skilled performers equipped with professional abilities and transferable skills to enable them to adapt to a rapidly changing work environment. Although study for a degree qualification will require a substantial level of academic work, students will not be spending all their time in a classroom. The course is performance based, which means that dance, drama and singing form the major part of the programme. |
The Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation Scholarship will be awarded by the College as part of the audition/selection process on the combined basis of merit and financial need. Please note students will be means tested for scholarship eligibility. The Scholarship will cover course fees only and will be reviewed on an annual basis. There will be one available Scholarship for the year 2012/13.
Please note that applications made directly to The Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation will not be considered.
