This course brings together the ‘triple threat’ of singing, dancing and acting. Develop acting techniques for the stage and strengthen your voice and singing in our Showcase and Contemporary Music Theatres Modules working in professional performance spaces.

You’ll make the most of performances in site-specific spaces such as Gloucester Cathedral, the bustling Gloucester Docks, and the Wilson Art Gallery. You’ll work in professional theatre venues such as the Everyman Studio and the Playhouse Theatre in Cheltenham.

You’ll learn in our purpose-built ‘2million Performing Arts and Events Centre at Oxstalls campus. These facilities include a dance studio with a harlequin-sprung floor, full lighting rig and sound, an acoustically designed music and singing room, a drama studio and a multi-media studio.

STUDY STYLE

You’ll learn from lecturers who are performing arts professional directors, musical directors and actors, having worked with organisations such as the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal National Theatre. Tutors have been or are still working in the professional arena and facilitate students to a ‘real world’ experience. With live performance opportunities you’ll gain plenty of experience, working in real theatres with industry experts. Students work with Strike a Light and Cheltenham Festivals and meet and network with industry professionals.

High levels of contact time with tutors each week during term time combine with intensive practical rehearsal periods for production to help support you to graduate career-ready.
