One Year Professional Performance Course
This course is designed for students who have previously taken H.Ed or full time performance courses and require a final ‘Top-Up’ course launching them into a Professional Performance Career.
Whilst maintaining core technical classes including ballet, jazz and contemporary emphasis will focus heavily on preparation for the professional environment.
Greater performance opportunities will be experienced ranging from solo performance platforms in their chosen genre to repertory workshops with company professionals specialising in street theatre, physical theatre and emerging theatre with the opportunities to develop these workshops through contextual based projects to TIE and outreach programmes
Independent innovative projects are created by students in genres as diverse as sight specific choreography and musical theatre productions. Each project is guided and mentored by an industry professional.
Relevant information is given in professional skills including finance, CVs and audition preparation.
Master classes in Set design and technical theatre give a brief in sight into the other side of professional theatre whilst additional workshops and after hour short courses in other skills such as fencing, give students expertise in other areas.
Two Year Performance Course
This course fully prepares the students to become professional performers in the Performing Arts Industry. In the first year students become secure in all forms of dance, musical theatre, singing and drama, progressing at an ambitious rate. Building on the foundation of training they have previously received they develop technical skills and explore different styles of performance. Students increase musical theatre and dance knowledge and many technical classes are personalised according to the students level of ability. This is analysed by assessment thus enabling progression and development requirements tailored to the individual including identifying weaknesses.
Exclusive Three Year Performance Course
Students wishing to combine A-Level qualifications with our Performance Course can do so by taking the 2 year Performance Course over three years. This allows for the student to have ‘release’ time in their first two years at Tiffany Theatre College to attend A-Level lessons at Belfairs High School Sixth Form, without compromising the delivery and progression of our vocational Performance Course. After completion of A-Levels alongside the initial two years of training, the students third year will then be spent entirely at Tiffany Theatre College. The greatest advantage of this course is to accelerate their overall training by combining the regular two year academic A-Level programme and our Two Year Performance Course, reducing it from four years to completion in first three years. Students on this course will graduate from college with both a college diploma as well as nationally recognised academic A-Levels.
Qualifications
Tiffany Theatre College is one of the few vocational colleges to offer BTEC, A-Levels and all units in FDI/CDE as well as the high standard of performing arts training received.
