Overview

The BTEC Performing Arts Level 2 course is a one year study programme that offers a wealth of practical activities, scenarios and independent studies for students. The course helps to inspire students to start thinking about different ways of applying the skills they’ve acquired and bring the content of the units to life. The students will be studying the Acting pathway and on completion of the course they will achieve a Level 2 Award in Performing Arts.

Course Content

Students will study two core units and an optional specialist unit:

Unit 1: Individual showcase
Unit 2: Preparation, Performance and Production
Unit 3: Acting Skills

Unit 1 is externally assessed and using scenarios, students will develop their own potential with a view of implementing plans for their future career. They will use the notion of progression opportunity to prepare work that can be performance, technical, or design-related and present a self-promotional response of their chosen progression opportunity. In unit 2, students will take one or more specific performance or production role(s) and in unit 3 they will master new skills in at least two styles of acting and apply them in their performance.

Educational Experiences
