Providing an in-depth introduction to the skills and knowledge needed to run a performance, this course is ideal for anyone interested in the design of a production. What will I study? The UAL Level 3 Extended Diploma in Design for Performance is equivalent to three A Levels and suitable for progression onto higher education. Students will work in a live environment as part of a production team working across a range of production styles, including a production arts led show. You will also need to be prepared to undertake additional work (included after college hours) and you will also develop your interpersonal, critical and decision-making abilities, which will serve you well in future. What will I be doing? The technical and design requirements of a performance are diverse, so you will benefit from our solid project-based learning approach. The study programme will cover a wide range of technical elements such as sound, lighting, stage management, and front of house and in design, you will learn set and costume design, prop making and scenic panting. Our regular events programme will give you real, practical opportunites to develop your design and technical skills in performances, workshops, assignments and projects, while working alongside students of other disciplines. You will also benefit from masterclasses, workshops and visits from external professionals. There will be a number of opportunities to carry out work experience both internally (in response to ‘live briefs’ from the industry) and externally across the wider performing arts community within Liverpool and beyond. Are there any extra-curricular activities? We offer a range of enrichment opportunities to complement your studies, which, in previous years, have included scriptwriting, directing, choir, debating and events management. Our students also regularly undertake trips to exhibitions and performances, at venues within Liverpool and further afield. Entry Requirements We require a predicted minimum of five GCSEs at grade 9-4/ A*-C, ideally including Maths and English. If you enrol with us and you haven't got a grade 4/C or above in Maths and/or English, we will support you to retake these subjects as part of your study programme. However, as retaking these GCSEs will be an additional demand on your time, it is in your interest to work to pass them the first time round. All students, regardless of GCSE attainment, will be expected to make further progress in their communication and mathematical skills. Opportunities to do this will be embedded in course assignment tasks, as well as in work experience and other activities. General Requirements • 5 GCSE qualifications with minimum grade 4 Minimum Required Grade – 5 GCSE grade 4 or above
