The HNC in Performing Arts (Dance) is a vocational course which explores contemporary and current practice whilst still acknowledging the traditional methods and practices of Dance. The course provides training in dance alongside a focus on contextual studies and industry knowledge.
Students on performing arts courses work together as a Production Company; across all levels and all disciplines. Therefore, students will be treated as a professional ensemble theatre company, learning and developing skills in creative collaboration, leadership, research and the formation and implementation of creative concepts.
The programme develops an inherent understanding about the contemporary Performing Arts industry, with relevant and current information about the demands of how to develop as a proactive, ‘thinking’ creative artist. The course aims to create a deep understanding of the relationship between a variety of disciplines, working together as a collaborative ensemble and gaining excellent team working skills.
The units deliver a theoretical, historical and cultural basis for the concepts explored, arming graduates with a fundamental basis and background of a wide range of theatrical and artistic forms. This also enables students to develop research, analysis and critical skills through academic writing and demands of research.
