Careers in Dance Careers Fact Sheet o o o o o o You are the future of dance! Careers Fact Sheet You are the future of dance! Careers Fact Sheet Careers in Dance ‘When I grow up I want to be a dancer! If I don’t dance I will die!’ Ever found yourself saying this? Now to the reality of the dance world! Unfortunately, dance is not like other subjects where hard work = dream job. It takes dedication, an open mind, flexibility, adaptability and a thick skin to survive the dance world. The information summarised in your talk should help give you a glimpse into the competitive industry of dance. What can you actually do? Few people are able to sustain a career doing one area, and variety is more stimulating and gives a sustainable income. Dancers live what we call a portfolio career. The top three things that an Artist will do is perform, choreograph and teach, but many do a combination of a variety of careers. Pathways How do we get from student to professional? There are infinite possibilities, and no set way. Dance Career Pathways Formal Education System Enhancing experience running alongside Primary Education formal education: Key stages 1-3 Pre-Vocational Training (CAT or associate programmes) Secondary education training Key stages 3-4, GCSE Syllabus Training (RAD, ISTD etc.) Youth Dance Companies Further education training (maybe vocational/ Foundation) Workshops & Shows AS/ A -Levels, BTEC, Creative Diploma Amateur Musical Theatre Groups Higher education training Work Experience Degrees, Diplomas Supplementary experience (e.g. music, drama, sports) Post- graduate training Academic and performance-based Diploma/ MA, PGCE Academic MPhil, MSc, PhD etc. You are the future of dance! Careers Fact Sheet What makes you successful? Downside to a career in dance: presumed uncertainty, competitive, fragile, tiring… Upside to a career in dance: spend your working life doing something you are talented at and enjoy, artistic, rewarding, creative, fulfilling, transforming, inspiring, varied, morally conscientious… What it takes to be successful: determination, dedication, willingness to sacrifice other areas of life, drive, talent, creativity, strength, intelligence, ability to accept failure as a part of success How you can help yourself? If you are years 10 – 12 you should already be thinking about which area you want to go in to (contemporary, musical theatre, ballet etc.). Speak to you careers advisor in school, search for full time undergraduate courses at UK universities and colleges - www.UCAS.com Visit the schools you think you would be interested in by year 11/ 12 and research them, many offer open days. Ask yourself; Where is it? What’s on the curriculum? Who trained there? Who teaches there? If you are in year 13 you should have already written your application and sent it off to the colleges you have selected. Remember: you are auditioning them as much as they are auditioning you!

  • The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: the Life Cycle of the Child Performer
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Humanities Faculty School of Music April 2016 \A person's a person, no matter how small." Dr. Seuss UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Abstract Humanities Faculty School of Music Doctor of Philosophy The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook The purpose of the research reported here is to explore the part played by children in musical theatre. It aims to do this on two levels. It presents, for the first time, an historical analysis of involvement of children in theatre from its earliest beginnings to the current date. It is clear from this analysis that the role children played in the evolution of theatre has been both substantial and influential, with evidence of a number of recurring themes. Children have invariably made strong contributions in terms of music, dance and spectacle, and have been especially prominent in musical comedy. Playwrights have exploited precocity for comedic purposes, innocence to deliver difficult political messages in a way that is deemed acceptable by theatre audiences, and youth, recognising the emotional leverage to be obtained by appealing to more primitive instincts, notably sentimentality and, more contentiously, prurience. Every age has had its child prodigies and it is they who tend to make the headlines. However the influence of educators and entrepreneurs, artistically and commercially, is often underestimated. Although figures such as Wescott, Henslowe and Harris have been recognised by historians, some of the more recent architects of musical theatre, like Noreen Bush, are largely unheard of outside the theatre community.

  • Bird College
    Bird College Inspection of colleges in the Dance and Drama Awards Inspection report Provider reference 50701 Published date January 2008 Audience Post-sixteen Published date January 2008 Provider reference 50701 Main Findings Course: Three-year National Diploma in Professional Music Theatre Overall effectiveness: Outstanding (grade 1) Date of inspection: 21 November 2007 This feedback contains findings from the inspection visit. It draws on the evidence available from performance data, external and internal reviews, other available documentation and interviews held on the day. The musical theatre course was previously inspected by Ofsted in June 2002 when it was graded outstanding (grade 1) for achievement and standards and the quality of education and training. The leadership and management of the college were last inspected in May 2004 and were graded outstanding (grade 1). Achievement and standards Recent reports produced by Trinity College London show that the standard of dancing, singing and acting in classes and performances continues to be very high. The recent revalidation report judged that ‘extremely high standards characterise the ethos of the institution… with several outstanding students in every cohort…’ A Trinity assessor’s report on a performance by third year students in the summer of 2007 noted that ‘ the students showed great skill, not just in singing, acting and dancing but were also accomplished gymnasts and showed a mature sense of comic timing.’ Diploma success rates are good. Some 90% of those enrolling in 2004 completed the three year course and all of those successfully gained a National Diploma in Professional Music Theatre. 2 Inspection report: Bird graduates are in regular employment and make very good progress within the industry.
