Performing Arts

For the performers out there, you will need to love the arts, enjoy working in front of an audience, be a talented actor, actress, singer or dancer and be a good team worker.

Are you a natural performer with a flair for acting, singing or music? The Performing Arts offer plenty of job opportunities, whether you love an audience or even if you just have a fascination with the theatre and want to work backstage. Based at our New Bedford Road campus and UK Centre for Carnival Arts, students will take part in a number of productions and gather lots of invaluable experience across a wide range of techniques and skills.
