Drama has become certainly one of typically the most popular subjects to follow along with at GCSE and A level. With so many students discovering an interest for drama it is very important to know what opportunities are available when it comes to pursing a career.
Could be Performers have several options they could study drama at university or choose one of many top 23 drama schools in England which are members of the CDS.
Child performers maybe able to help make the transition, from child actor to adult, and never having to head to drama school. Though this is indeed rare, it is not impossible.
However, not everyone wants to become a performer some prefer to show, just what exactly training would you need. Well I spoke to one drama student who explained about her journey from leaving
Blag Youth Theatre in Rickmansworth to landing a first class job in a secondary school in Hertfordshire, she also outlines other routes into becoming a dilemma teacher.
'My passion for drama began in my own early teens, when I joined Blag Youth Theatre. There I surely could expand my knowledge and test out improvisation and scripted pieces. In addition it gave me performance opportunities which confirmed my passion for the arts.
I left school with 3 A-levels (Theatre studies, Music and English Lit.) in 1998. I went on to accomplish a three year degree in Drama and Theatre Studies and graduated in 2001. During the following 3 years I caused many different different aged children running outdoor adventure activities. Dramacool I then determined to become secondary school teacher and to get back to university; so in 2004 I started a PGCE in drama at Chester University. This course took annually and was very hands-on with two teaching placements in numerous schools.
Once I completed in 2010 I started being an NQT (Newly Qualified teacher) at a school in Hertfordshire - Once I'd done one year as of this school i was a fully-qualified teacher of drama!!
You will find other routes into teaching:
If you make your choice before I did and know whenever you finish your A-Levels that you intend to be considered a teacher then you certainly can do a 4 year course at University and become either a principal teacher or a secondary teacher with drama specialism.
When you yourself have a dilemma degree already and need to teach drama then you can certainly either apply to accomplish a PGCE, like me or a GTP. A GTP is a school based qualification where you work in a school for a decreased salary until you qualify.
When you yourself have a diploma in another subject then you can certainly still become a dilemma teacher but may have to do a short course to convert your specialism.'
