You will study acting techniques, acting through song and acting in performance. You will also develop audition pieces and song repertoire and will create your own industry profile by studying the performing arts business, producing a CV/self-promotion video/showreel or website.

In Dance you will work to develop your technical and performance skills in a wide variety of dance styles including contemporary, jazz and ballet. You’ll develop your confidence in creating and learning choreography and have numerous opportunities to develop your performance work in technique class and performance projects. 

You will explore different musical theatre styles from Rogers and Hammerstein to the more modern musicals through ensemble and solo singing. You will develop your vocal skills and have opportunities to perform through the year culminating in a final show incorporating all three disciplines.
