THEATRE ARTS: ADVANCED
Acting. Singing. Music. Movement.
"Great stories happen to those who can tell them." - Ira Glass
Storytelling is at the heart of all great performances and so we’ve put storytelling at the heart of our performance training.
Collaboration. Expression. Performance.
We developed the Theatre Arts courses to support aspiring young actors, musicians, and performers in reaching their full potential as creative and performing artists.

FURTHER COURSE
INFORMATION
Our Advanced courses offer full-time pre-drama school or pre-music college training. Students get used to the demands of conservatoire-style tuition in a professional, performing arts-focused environment and train in their area of focus for over 20 hours per week.
This course is popular with students who have completed years 7-11 in traditional education environments and who are now ready to put all their energy and focus into their performing arts training.
The advanced course covers a broad and diverse curriculum and is delivered by industry professionals and specialist staff. Students can expect to complete between 12 - 15 units over the two years of study with many units resulting in both in-house and public performances.
Acting units may include:
Classical Acting
Acting for Film and TV
Physical Theatre
Contemporary Theatre

The Theatre Arts Advanced program leads to the completion of the RSL Level 3 Extended Diploma in Creative and Performing Arts, a vocational qualification worth the equivalent of 3 A-Levels.

Advanced students can choose to take one or two optional A Level or Level 3 qualifications alongside their Theatre Arts course.
