Foundations in Professional Practice

Description

Year One

Hours: 14 (classroom) plus individual study/rehearsal and tutorials

Qualification: Trinity College NVQ Level 3/4

CORE’s foundations programme focuses on the personal development of the individual, taking the trainee from their present stage of potential and onto the next stage of verifiable development. Trainees are taught on an individual and small group basis to enable this.

In addition to classroom training in their chosen modules (theatre, physical theatre or performance skills) and practical work experience, the trainee will also receive specialist vocational coaching and mentoring to help them make the right decisions regarding their future direction. All are prepared for interview and auditions to gain work in the industry or progression to the next level of study.

The CORE Training Model

The CORE programmes are designed to provide a unique tuition model based on the classic theatre arts apprenticeship, developing trainees to reach their full potential through professional level training and personal study, and receiving opportunities to gain highly valuable, relevant experience in professional contexts. Classes are kept small to enable individual development.

A Unique Professional Training Experience

The trainees will be inspired, challenged and nurtured by the tutors. They will be encouraged to seek out opportunities, and press-in with full commitment at all times. The trainee will need to be self-disciplined, focused, flexible, able to work alone, as well as with a team and be fully dedicated to the professional learning process. Quality tuition and one-one mentoring serves to make the trainee fully aware of what is required for working as a professional within the performing arts industry.
