Performing Arts Top Up - BA (Hons)

TEC Partnership (University Centre Grimsby, East Riding College, Scarborough & Skegness Colleges)

**The BA (Hons) Performing Arts Top Up programme at the University Centre, Grimsby, offers key, unique features that differentiate the programme from others in the area.**On this programme, the focus within performing arts is on the study of drama, dance, and production: as an actor, dancer, choreographer, producer, director, teacher, facilitator, stage manager and more, with opportunities for individual specialisation in performance and/or production within these disciplines as well as collaboration. We believe in each performer having their own voice as an artist, as a creator and as a collective group. Developing the ability to create their own opportunities is as important for the student as the ability to work effectively and professionally the ability to generate and sustain individual work is crucial to a performer’s continued growth and development throughout their career.Learning to perform is a continuous process of personal discovery and exploration. We believe that no single individual is any more or less valuable to the performance than any other and that the performance event itself should be a true ensemble experience. Therefore, the process of development for each performing artist is not done in competition, but as an autonomous collaborative process.Significant opportunity exists for collaboration between programmes: Performing Arts in drama, dance or theatre production students may collaborate with students on other UCG courses such as Music Performance, Music Production, Special Effects, Photography, Applied Art and Design, and Digital Film Production. This synergy of activity is an important part of the individual’s development as a performing artist and contribution to our local, national, and global community.
