Drama is currently one of typically the most popular subjects to follow along with at GCSE and A level. With so many students discovering a passion for drama it is essential to know what opportunities are available as it pertains to pursing a career.
Could be Performers have several options they can study drama at university or choose one of the top 23 drama schools in England which can be members of the CDS.
Child performers maybe able to really make the transition, from child actor to adult, and never having to visit drama school. Though this really is indeed rare, it's not impossible.
However, not everyone wants to be always a performer some prefer to show, just what exactly training would you need. Well I spoke to at least one drama student who explained all 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 desire for drama began within my early teens, when I joined Blag Youth Theatre. There I could expand my knowledge and try out improvisation and scripted pieces. Additionally, it gave me performance opportunities which confirmed my desire for the arts.
I left school with 3 A-levels (Theatre studies, Music and English Lit.) in 1998. I proceeded to accomplish a three year degree in Drama and Theatre Studies and graduated in 2001. During the following 3 years I worked with many different different aged children running outdoor adventure activities. Dramacool I then made a decision becoming a secondary school teacher and to return to university; so in 2004 I started a PGCE in drama at Chester University. This course took per year and was very hands-on with two teaching placements in numerous schools.
Once I completed this season I started as an NQT (Newly Qualified teacher) at a school in Hertfordshire - Once I'd done twelve months at this school i was a fully-qualified teacher of drama!!
There are other routes into teaching:
In the event that you make your choice before Used to do and know when you finish your A-Levels that you want to be a teacher then you can certainly do a 4 year course at University and become either a key teacher or even a secondary teacher with drama specialism.
When you have a dilemma degree already and wish to teach drama then you can certainly either apply to accomplish a PGCE, like me or even a GTP. A GTP is a school based qualification where you work in a school for a low salary and soon you qualify.
When you have a degree in another subject then you can certainly still become a dilemma teacher but might have to do a short course to convert your specialism.'
