| Brief description of the Unit |
This unit is designed to deepen and complete students’ practice-based learning in two advanced performance contexts: a Final Theatre Production and a Showcase Presentation. Taken together, these strands enable students to work collaboratively with other high-level professional artists on projects that synthesise three years of skills training and reflective practice. Material may be drawn from a variety of sources: dramatic, musical, self-devised works and screen. The format of the final performance will align with industry standards, providing a framework of skills for students to link their core training to the professional creative industries. |

| Unit Content: |
This unit is designed to deepen and complete students’ practice-based learning in two advanced performance contexts: a Final Theatre Production and a Showcase Presentation. Taken together, these strands enable students to work collaboratively with other high-level professional artists on projects that synthesise three years of skills training and reflective practice. Students will be asked to think holistically at the range of skills they have accured over this time and apply them in each of the two strands. Material may be drawn from a variety of sources: dramatic, musical, self-devised works and screen. The format of the final performance will align with industry standards, providing a framework of skills for students to link their core training to the professional creative industries. |
