Performing Arts Q&A Session

You can join a Live Q&A Session by clicking the buttons above. This will take you through to a Microsoft Teams meeting where you can join attendees in asking questions to the tutors. If you do not wish to have your camera or microphone on, that’s no problem! You will still be able to ask questions via the Microsoft Teams chat once you are in the session. If you are joining with a Smartphone or Tablet then please ensure you have Microsoft Teams downloaded. If you are having any issues joining the tutor sessions, then please let us know via the live chat function on this page.

Take to the stage

One of the key differences between studying at College and studying at school is our first class facilities. Our Performing Arts students learn, rehearse and perform in fully equipped rehearsal spaces and the Black Box Theatre. Featuring rigged lighting, full length mirrors and a ballet barre, students learn from experienced teachers. Students also build their experience with various performance opportunities, from local theatres in Milton Keynes to festivals and showcases.

Study with Us

Courses Available

You may have noticed that we offer Intermediate and Advanced courses for most areas.

Intermediate courses are equivalent to Level 1/2 and are for those people who need a bit of extra focus and support in order to learn more about their specific interest, get familiar with tools and equipment and may need to resit GCSE English and/or maths.

Advanced courses are equivalent to Level 3 and are ideal for people who have a good grasp of their interest, but need to focus on developing their technical skill and concentrate on growing their skills and employability, learning how to turn their talent into a career.
