Outreach at ICTheatre
At ICTheatre we celebrate the vast range of career opportunities available to those who study performing arts; producers, writers, directors, facilitators, educators, choreographers, therapists, agents, casting directors, events managers, as well as performers, the list could go on. We are on a mission to encourage our students to understand all the opportunities available to them.
To give students a taste of what we teach and to lighten the load on fellow educators we are proud to be able to offer a programme of workshops available across the three pathways.
We want to collaborate with schools, colleges, youth groups and companies to ensure that the fight to protect the performing arts for our young people goes on.
Breaking down barriers
Our goal at ICTheatre is to remove the barriers preventing people from choosing a career in performing arts, whether these are financial, physical, cultural, or personal. We have developed a unique degree programme encompassing three pathways within the BA (Hons) Performing Arts:
We know how busy staff are in schools and colleges. Our outreach programmes are designed to support staff not just with delivering skills but also with information about progression and destinations in the Arts.
We are a new institute and therefore want to make ourselves known to teachers and students and share our inclusive vision of performing arts training. Our degrees offer people who may not be able to afford to pay the huge fees attached to many performing arts courses, an excellent training. More than this though, we also want to deliver a curriculum that enables students to develop entrepreneurial skills and to expand their knowledge of the industry.
We have a programme that develops a wide range of skills alongside those of dancing, singing, and acting and if we have a student who shows interest in an area of the industry, we aim to find placements for them. We also have a strong focus on mental resilience throughout the course.
