Year 1 introduces students to the various facets that make up the professional performing arts as well as the specific responsibilities of the arts manager and the production manager. Year 2 provides greater depth where students have the opportunity to explore more specific elements of production management and arts management. This provides a foundation for Year 3 which provides students with the opportunity to implement focused individual study, and undertake work with performance companies and production projects. In Years 2 and 3, students can choose to specialise in Arts Management or Stage Management or keep a balanced approach by continuing to study both aspects. There are also opportunities to take Drama, Choreography and Dance or Performing Arts classes and/or engage in a work placement.
Facilities and excursions
There are two fully equipped, flexible performance venues on campus and a new performing arts building providing rehearsal and production preparation spaces. In addition, the programme utilises other facilities including The Vault (in the Student Union) as well as off-campus venues such as the Theatre Royal Winchester, the Tower Arts Centre, Winchester, and the Point in nearby Eastleigh. Staff and student productions take place throughout the year, with some touring the country. Professional companies also perform on campus, giving students the opportunity to learn and gain experience from specialists in the field. There are also opportunities to see performances in Winchester, Salisbury, Basingstoke and London.
