IBCP Performance and Production Arts: Course Outline

The course provides an opportunity for those who have an interest in the performing arts to explore, develop and test their creativity within a qualification structure which is stimulating, demanding and provides a supportive transition from general to more specialised study.  The structure of the qualifications, with units linked to provide coherence, will allow students to synthesise newly acquired practical skills with theoretical knowledge and understanding as they explore their aptitude and ambition and the particular characteristics of a broad range of performing and production arts disciplines.

The qualifications are characterised by experiential, experimental and integrated learning, relying on the application and transfer of recognised skills, whilst valuing the accidental and novel results that can occur in both individual and collaborative practice, and recognising common principles and distinctive characteristics within the field of performing and production arts.

In addition to the skills specific to performance and production, you will also develop transferable skills, valued by both universities and employers, such as

  • Having a critical and contextual awareness of different perspectives and approaches
  • Researching, analysing and evaluating relevant information and ideas in order to develop creative solutions
  • Solving complex problems through the application of practical, theoretical and technical understanding
  • Using evaluative and reflective skills in order to take responsibility for own learning, development and decision-making

Students will work with a number of local artists as well as some of our partnerships in the Performing Arts which include the RSC and ISTA (International Schools Theatre Association). Students will also have the opportunity to take on various performance/production roles in our Elementary, Junior and Senior school productions. We are also making links with our local theatre companies who will help students develop further experience such as the SRT (Singapore Repertory Theatre) and Pandemonium.
