Course Description:
This
course is a full-time vocational course that prepares students to
become versatile professionals in a wide range of production roles in
theatre and related industries. With a strong emphasis on learning
through practice, students become part of a creative production team
from the first term onwards and begin working with actors, musicians
and professional directors and designers to create productions for
public performance. This course offers students the opportunity to
try all aspects of theatre production in their first year before they
commit to specialist areas.
The course is based in Unit 4, the
technical department's own purpose equipped building, the Corbett
Theatre and various rehearsal rooms across the Loughton campus.
First year: During the first year,
students are introduced to all areas of theatre production including
stage management, prop making, lighting, sound, set construction,
costume production, and set and costume design, before being asked to
choose their second year options.
Second year: In the second year,
students begin to pursue specialist areas of study. Learning is
supported by work placements, practical projects and production work
where students take on individual roles on public performances.
Successful completion of this year leads to a Foundation degree
award.
Third year: In the optional third
year, which leads to a BA Honours degree award, students specialise
in one or two areas of production. Third years take on supervisory
roles and, wherever possible, students are allocated to projects that
reflect their individual vocational interests and skills. During this
year, each student will complete a professional placement, and also
propose and execute a graduation project which reflects their own
vocational interests.
