CORE UNITS:

There are three units within this course:

Unit 1: Individual Showcase

Unit 2: Preparation, Performance and Production
This is an internally assessed unit, which has a focus on the process an artist undertakes to prepare and create a piece of work ready for performance

Unit 7: Production Skills for Performance
This unit is internally assessed and shall encourage learners to explore the production elements of their performance work and will take into account technical aspects, design or construction skills.
