THEATRE ACADEMY
@BHS
This is a course aiming to give you an all-round theatre experience including production (e.g. lighting, sound operations); it’s not just about being on stage. You’ll develop your practical performance skills with the chance to focus on acting and production along with opportunities for dance if it’s an area of interest. This practical course provides you with the chance to work individually and in groups to develop a range of skills through performing, devising and investigation.
You’ll study a variety of performance texts and look at the techniques of different theatre companies to support your work.
Projects you’ll explore include:
 Performing Arts & Theatre Studies
