>> MICHAEL: My name is Michael Colson and I'm on the BTEC Extended Diploma in Performing
Arts. >> LAUREN: My name's Lauren McGoldrick and
I do Extended Diploma in Performing Arts. >> MICHAEL: As part of the course we do singing,
acting and dancing. We get to use the dance studio and the theatre and we have practice
rooms upstairs for like bands and stuff. >> LAUREN: I think the tutors are really,
really good because they've helped us a lot with me confidence and the way I sing and
dance. >> JOSEPH: My name's Joseph Ashcroft and I'm
on the Subsidiary Diploma in Music. On a day to day basis I'd say I play a lot of music
with the band, rehearse by myself, do my own singing lessons like I've been taught to by
tutors and basically practice all day long doing some work at the same time as well.
When I've finished the course I will be going to University studying exactly the same, music.
Then later on I hope to teach. >> BEN: My name is Ben Nicholson and I lecture
at East Durham College. What we try to do is provide the students with a broad range
of skills which would enable them to gain employment in later life and also to progress
onto Level 4 qualifications at University. our focus is on drama, dance and music skills
here. We have TV studios, we have video editing suites, we have this purpose built theatre.
We believe as all the staff are practitioners, the best way for you to learn as a performer
is to actually do practical activities. To do real performances in real performance environments.
>> LIAM: My name is Liam Spence and I am doing BTEC Media at East Durham College. The thing
I've enjoyed most on the course is probably using the cameras and using the editing progreammes.
[music] Yeah I'd recommend this course because the
teachers are really friendly and so are the students and the facilities are great.
[music] After I finish this course I might take it
>>LYNNE: My name is Lynne Earl and I teach BTEC Art & Design. We do drawing, painting,
3D, graphics, print, photography. They can go on and do degree courses in all
sorts of design fields, design areas, and they can go into galleries, museums, exhibitions.
They could try and make it out in the big wide world as artists and designers.
