This subject enables the student to consolidate their training into professional practice through a series of targeted performance tasks and the development of a professional development plan (PDP). The process of creating the PDP will focus the student’s attention on the next steps after graduating and will include identification of career aspirations and future training needs. The performance tasks focus on the specific training needs of the individual and are negotiated in dialogue with staff (e.g. selection of scene study or monologue material, the development of a devised performance, performance in a touring production).
Intended learning outcomes
To provide the student with the opportunity to:
- Plan their professional development by considering the transition out of the BFA and into the profession or further study.
- Participate in responsive training relevant to the needs of each individual through the selection of negotiated performance tasks.
Generic skills
• Critical Thinking: Articulate a well consider professional development plan that addresses your needs as an emerging professional.
• Autonomy: Demonstrate practice as an autonomous actor by identifying, offering, negotiating and realising performance tasks.
• Performance: Demonstrate independent application of actor training in differing performance contexts.
• Performance: Demonstrate an appropriate command of performance skills, including acting, voice and movement, and the aesthetic choices made within a performance environment.
• Professional Practice: Operate as a professional in training by demonstrating good conduct in time keeping, attendance, collaborative attitude, creative risk taking and full participation with the project.
