This Performing Arts degree is a practice-based course, equipping you with the interdisciplinary skillset required by the contemporary performer. Through core ‘Performance Skills’ and ‘Academic, Professional, Research and Employability Skills’ pathways, you will develop the foundations necessary to the autonomous, public-facing, and industry-engaged assessments later in the course.
You will also be introduced to a range of performance-making disciplines, including:
New Media Performance and Production
Directing and Devising
Adapting Shakespeare
Writing for Performance
Performance Practice-as-Research
Applied Performance Project
Throughout the course you will have the opportunity to stage at least three full-length productions, with a Studio Performance at Level 4, a Scripted Performance to a paying public audience at Level 5 and a devised Performance Showcase in an industry setting, to a paying public audience as the culmination of your study at Level 6.
The course is delivered across three sites, each optimised to provide state-of-the-art resources relevant to your modules. This includes a home-from-home at Peterborough’s prestigious Key Theatre, where you will be welcomed as residents of the venue, including discounted Key Theatre Club membership, regular attendance at performances and events, work experience and part-time employment opportunities and annual performances as part of the public programme.
You will regularly engage with local, national and international industry through our team of research/industry-active expert staff, regular guest practitioners and a number of industry-focused modules.
The courses at University Centre Peterborough are studied in smaller class sizes compared with other universities, a typical class size is under 30 students.
