Here's what TEC Partnership (University Centre Grimsby, East Riding College, Scarborough & Skegness Colleges) says about its Performing Arts course.

The FdA in Performing Arts aims to provide a dynamic, exciting and flexible learning experience for its students, whilst providing industry-standard skills. Academically, it will develop students’ abilities to contextualise their learning historically, culturally and self-reflectively, and students will be encouraged to showcase their work at every opportunity.

The aim of the programme is to give each member of the cohort the requisite skills to enter the performing arts industry, and our focus on skills, employment and industry are a unique selling point for this FdA. Dedicated module tutors and support staff are on hand for students who are interested in all aspects of performing arts. With a focus on acting, dancing, musical theatre and the essential contextual studies, this programme aims to deliver dynamic performance professionals directly into the creative sector.

The University Centre Grimsby is home to the School of Arts building, including a 200 seater theatre, dance studio and rehearsal rooms. Students will have the opportunity to work in a professional environment with staff who have proven track records within the industry.
