I do it, I'm five months into my first year though.
I know Fom does it too though I'm sure he's further into the course than I am.
Currently, we study Drama, Dance/Physical Theatre, Singing, Business and Comms.
We're gonna move into Musical Theatre next year though apparently.
You basically study the different areas of each? Singing, you learn the warm-ups, exercises, perform songs in groups, as a soloist etc. Drama, you cover Naturalism, Shakespeare, famous practitioners like Brecht and Grotowski etc. It's like that.
You keep a log book of everything you do and all your research throughout the course which is part of your grade, as well as the practical.
It's a great course, I thought I'd regret doing it instead of A Levels but it's by far one of the best decisions I've ever made.

We had a choice of specializing in Drama, or specializing in Dance. I chose to specialize in Drama so I only do Dance once a week [whereas the dancers do less acting]. Even then, my Dance is more physical theatre.

I don't know, it's hard to explain but the people in our year who were allowed to pick all of their options were given "red sheets" and the people who could only pick 1 out of 3 were given "yellow sheets" and they were the only ones allowed to take it. :sad:

Mambo - They build your confidence massively. I wasn't a very confident singer but I've gotten a lot stronger and don't get as scared performing anymore, although I do still get nervous. Same with acting, we've done so many shows in the past 5 months I'm full of confidence with my ability.

I know! I don't think many people took it though, so it was cancelled. I had to take Drama instead, which to be fair is brilliant, I really enjoy it.
