Practical work in a range of contexts linked to a greater or lesser extent in the performance, creation, design and presentation of dance, drama and performance.

Critical studies (for example analytic, theoretical, historical, textual or contextual), appropriate to the context of the award in dance, drama, theatre, performance and

production, and related multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary areas. Technique and technical training for craft skills development.   Integration of existing and emerging technologies into performance and production.  Preparation for employment within and beyond the dance, drama and performance industries. 

The dance, drama and performance programme is characterised by the following common features: 

Knowledge and understanding of the ways in which performance originates, is constructed, circulated and received; this may include 'embodied knowledge' and 'practice as research'.  Acquisition of knowledge, skills and understanding through processes of research, action, reflection and evaluation of ethical practice and arts citizenship.Acquisition of discipline-specific skills and techniques. Acquisition of practice-based knowledge through physical engagement in technical exercises to develop skills in craft and technique.  Practical, workshop-based learning is normally a feature of all dance, drama and performance programmes….and can involve active participation in all, some or a combination

of the following: - rehearsal/devising processes - craft skills/technique development -production - performance - digital media - production arts. Reflecting the public and community nature of performance practice, particular emphasis may be placed on collaborative learning and heuristic principles, on 'learning through doing' in group contexts.  Study may embrace analysis of theory and of performance texts, which may be written or notated. Equally, emphasis may be placed upon the study of the design and creation of

performance as an event or process.  Research - practical and/or theoretical - is seen as a necessary requirement for engagement with all facets of performance and production practice and theory.  The location of practice within an appropriate framework of ideas, histories and skills.
