Production Arts - Theatre Technology (BTEC National Award Level 3)
1 year at West Durrington Campus
What will I study?
The one year course is designed for students interested in the technical support for all forms of theatre events including musicals, plays, dance performance, concerts and gigs.
You will be working in the Northbrook Theatre complex which includes the excellently equipped Northbrook Theatre and the studio theatre as well as production rooms and external venues. You will learn how to plan, design, rig and operate the technical systems necessary for theatre and music production: sound, light, comms and projection.
The course is the equivalent of one A Level and carries the same UCAS points.
Modules include:
- Production for Theatre Performance
- Technical Stage Operations
- Stage Lighting Design
- Stage Lighting Operations
- Stage Sound Operations
How will I be assessed?
You will be assessed through a range of assignments linked to the course units. The methods of assessment vary from unit to unit but all include practical elements and there are no exams. Other modes of assessment include shows, workshops, rehearsals, written work and presentations.
What can I do afterwards?
All successful students can progress to Northbrook's own National Certificate or Diploma courses or, for those with sufficient UCAS points, Foundation Degree courses and Degrees in the Music and Theatre department. Students also apply to many other specialist courses at universities or theatre schools or find work in the entertainment industry.
