Task 6C Award title

Task 6C - Award Title

After looking at the award titles I think I am certain of the title I would like:

BA (Hons) Professional Practice:  Performing Arts

My Trinity Diploma is in Musical Theatre so I feel I should carry it on but I feel that musical theatre is just a part of performing arts and there are things you can do in performing arts that are not linked to musical theatre. I look at musical theatre to be a type of genre of performing arts. Also, I went to LCPA wanted to just be a dancer but if I just choose dance I am limiting myself, I have trained for many years in performing arts and not just dance so I feel that in the future, opportunities may come up that involve drama and singing. Therefore, if I just chose dance people looking at me to hire for drama or singing positions may think twice and chose someone who has a performing arts qualification and not just dance. They may feel that someone with a performing arts degree rather than a dance degree is a better all rounder. 

So I do not want to put these limitations in my way. I would also like to apply for positions that are not just dance but singing, acting and even music. My ideal job would be head of performing arts in a school because I am a dancer, actor, singer and a musician so a role of this title would link all in my skills. 

The titles I considered were:

BA (Hons) Professional Practice: Dance - I have explained my reasons for not choosing this title above. Basically I do not want to limit myself to only teaching dance.

BA (Hons) Professional Practice: Dance Teaching - The reason I have not chosen this title is pretty much the same as the dance degree because I do not just want to teach dance. I enjoy teaching drama and singing just as much. So do not want to limit myself.

BA (Hons) Professional Practice: Musical Theatre - The reason I have not chosen this degree is because I feel it can still have some limitation. I studied Musical Theatre at LCPA for 3 years and have my trinity diploma and London College of Music diploma in Musical Theatre but I feel that it the musical theatre is only a part of performing arts. 

BA (Hons) Professional Practice: Performing Arts - I feel this is the degree for me because although I wanted to originally just be a dancer, after studying musical theatre for 3 years I enjoyed it throughly. Performing Arts widens more doors than just dance or musical theatre and I do not want any limits on my career. I can sing, dance, act and play musical instruments so why not use these skills to get the best out of my career and work to my full potential. I am also currently working in a performing arts club and eventually would like to get into a school to teach any subject I can in the performing arts subjects. I could still specialise in dance but my degree would be performing arts on a whole allowing me to be a professional in all aspects of it.
