The
Diploma in Performing Arts
is a unique qualification that offers you an opportunity to specialise in a performing arts discipline or related inter-disciplinary areas in the performing arts creative sector. The diploma aims to train creative innovators and entrepreneurs in inter-artistic fields of performing arts, and will enable you to either enter the formal or the informal creative industries sectors.
With an emphasis on Africanisation, you have the opportunity for multi-disciplinary collaboration that serves the core of the qualification. In addition, you have the opportunity to select and specialise in one of three discipline streams, namely
Dance
(including a variety of dance styles and techniques),
Theatre Arts & Design
(including further selection into either a performer stream, or a technician and design stream), and
Music
(including jazz and opera).
As a graduate of the programme you will be able to apply your skills as a practitioner of and producer of, artistic outcomes and artefacts within the performing arts sector. Furthermore, you will contribute to the economy of South Africa through the performing arts as a diverse, well-trained performing artist.
You will be empowered with creative and artistic skills and abilities in the performing arts, such as acting, performance, singing, music, dance, theatre design and technology, creativity, entrepreneurship, research skills, and conceptual and critical thinking. With these skills and abilities, you will be able to contribute meaningfully to economic transformation through your creative entrepreneurial endeavours.
All these skills contribute to a vocation or career in performing arts and meets the expectations of the creative industry and society. The Performing Arts programme has practical, intellectual, educational, and entrepreneurial applications, and will develop your ability to be employed or to work independently in the performing arts discipline or interrelated fields.
