BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Performing Arts (Musical Theatre)

What will I learn on this course?

The BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma is an intensive two year course that covers fundamental aspects of Musical Theatre training and performance, delivered by knowledgeable and experienced staff in state-of-the-art facilities. You will develop skills in all three disciplines of dance, acting and singing as well as gaining understanding of the musical theatre industry.

Throughout the two years you will be challenged to develop your personal and creative potential alongside acquiring the technical and interpretative skills required for performance. Areas of training include: vocal techniques, music theory, acting techniques, devising, directing and storytelling, jazz and movement techniques, choreography, rehearsal and performance skills and etiquette - all leading to the creation and presentation of musical theatre and variety performances. In addition, you will explore theatre history including in-depth analysis of various musical theatre practitioners and will undertake preparation and training for auditions for future opportunities in our industry and Higher Education courses. To inform and enhance your learning and development you will be expected to undertake independent rehearsals, study and research. This course is aimed at students who have ability and interest in how all three disciplines contribute to the Musical Theatre genre. You must have high levels of fitness, commitment and motivation. It is expected that you will be passionate about progressing into the creative and performance industries.

How is the course structured?

The course consists of 13 units, 4 of which are externally assessed. A range of mandatory units consolidating the disciplines are delivered and assessed in the first year alongside specialised technique units in singing, dance and acting. In the second year you will acquire and develop new skills and knowledge related to audition preparation alongside applying your techniques to a range of musical theatre productions leading up to a final major project. Assessment methods range from practical performances through to controlled assessment preparation culminating in a written examination.

How will I study and how will I be assessed?

Students have 14 hours a week on Musical Theatre - 4 hours in each discipline, as well as 2 hours per week for preparation for the externally assessed units. Students will take part in technical classes in all three disciplines, creative and skill-based workshops and theoretical sessions led by BOA's musical theatre staff and visiting industry professionals. You will take part in a variety of projects and performances throughout the two years, including major musical productions and a range of smaller performances and workshops. Many of these may be created in collaboration with our visiting partners and industry professionals. There will also be opportunities to work in partnership with other pathways and visit the theatre regularly. Students will be invited and expected to join the extra-curricular performance companies at BOA to support their study on the Musical Theatre pathway.

Each BTEC unit is individually assessed with Pass, Merit or Distinction grades. Together with staff, you will be involved in setting yourself targets and monitoring your progress through all units.

FILM STUDIES AND MEDIA & CULTURE BA (HONS)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In Film Studies you are introduced to a wide range of film histories and cultures, covering everything from the Hollywood blockbuster to world cinema. You will study films from a variety of time periods, including recent releases.

You will be encouraged to draw connections between your own experiences of cinema and film theory and there will be many opportunities, during your learning, to benefit from your lecturers' cutting edge research in aspects of film - from, for example, the cultural meaning of zombie cinema to development of the British crime film. Learning takes place in the screening room and in lecture and seminar rooms and takes a variety of forms including small-group discussion, film screenings, lectures, seminars, one-to-one tutorials and essay preparation sessions. Strong emphasis is placed on interaction and debate between lecturers and students and between students themselves. Assignments are largely essays and presentations but there will be occasional opportunities, too, to work towards less conventional outcomes, including short films.

Media & Culture involves more traditional academic study that examines how the media, TV and digital communication shape society, its values and politics - and, as a result, identity and human experience.

Throughout, you will be addressing some of the hottest topics of our times, from Green Media to Democracy and the Media, from War to Gender. There will be opportunities to explore all forms of media and culture (TV, radio, pop music, sport, social networks) and a multitude of fascinating questions (Why do people the world over listen to rap and hip hop? How does the news report immigration? Why do people reinvent themselves on Facebook and in Second Life?). You will hone your critical and intellectual faculties in a variety of dynamic and engrossing teaching and learning contexts - contexts in which the media that you use may well be those that you are also studying. Media & Culture also provides you with opportunities for work placements and volunteering; these are designed to highlight how your learning is supporting your employability and to introduce you to some of the professional and employment possibilities that you could pursue once you have graduated.

For more information about teaching, learning and assessment on this course, please see the single honours course pages for Film Studies and Media & Culture.

Thomas Jack Brown

Thomas Jack Brown is a video artist, video installation artist and freelance media producer based in Worcestershire, United Kingdom. Thomas joined the Creative Media MA for the 2018/19 programme after spending several years in the media industry and in the Further Education sector.

He says of the course: "If I could use one word to sum up my experience of the MA course it would be 'transformative'. The core of my creative practice, how I conduct my creative business and how I identify myself as a creative practitioner has changed for the absolute better".

'I decided to conduct my Master's Education at the University of Worcester because of the high quality of teaching in my immediate local area. Being able to stay local and receive a quality post-graduate education was a big factor in deciding to attend the University of Worcester. The high quality facilities and incredibly supportive staff helped to push my practice-based and theoretical research skills and processes to a new level to enable me to bid for commissions, residencies and bursaries for new video work. A Master's Degree is something I have wanted since completing my undergraduate. I am so thankful that I chose the University of Worcester for it'.

Since graduating in 2019, Thomas has received commissions, gallery residencies and had work selected for exhibition from arts organisations in The Black Country, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Central London, Northumberland, The Netherlands and is in discussion for screening work in San Francisco, USA. Thomas has also received direct funding from Arts Council England for producing video work for online/social media distribution.
