Aims

This module aims to provide the learner with the opportunity to extend understanding and knowledge gained in levels 4 and 5 and apply this in a wholly practical context. Much of the delivery of the module is built around providing the technical input to major performances and shows. In addition, a number of alternative, advanced technical approaches will be explored which will enable the student to achieve a higher standard and work more efficiently.
