Broadly the degree structure progresses as follows:
? In Year One: learners acquire discrete skills and techniques across the disciplines (singing, dancing and acting); performance opportunities are mostly in-house and focus on reinforcing core skills. ? In Year Two: the emphasis is on the further development of skills and technique, but beginning to integrate these and demonstrate them in public performances. Devised projects are included for the first time (independent projects, guided by the tutor) ? Year Three: the learning environment has a tangible connection to the work culture and lifestyle of the professional performer where successful, consecutive performances are offered, supported by ongoing lessons in the disciplines that contribute to the performer's areas of activity. Options for learners to develop a cohesive Capstone project include NASDA productions, external production, self-devised work, creative (writing / composition) projects and / or industry placements. Creative research projects are woven into the performance outcomes for the final year. |
