Preparatory Theatre Course

Entering at S3, the main aims are to nurture and develop the artistic and creative skills in the three key areas of drama, dance and singing in preparation for the S5 Musical Theatre Course, whilst building the technical understanding of the young person.

Dance

Over the two years the young people will focus on classes in Ballet, Modern, Jazz, National and Creative Movement.

Drama

The young people gain basic technical skills in voice, movement, characterisation, improvisation and storytelling.

Singing

Through this crucial period in their vocal development, the young people will be nurtured and developed through their classes, working on solo and ensemble repertoire from a large variety of styles. This will build musicality, vocal and aural confidence and most importantly technical awareness.

Performance

In Term 3, the PTC pupils have their own Showcase.

In addition to their academic classes, National 5 Dance is taken in S3, Higher Dance is taken in S4.
