Griffith College Dublin (GCD)
The QQI Validated part-time Certificate in Drama Performance programme is delivered on part-time basis by The LSMD and comprises of two modules from the Higher Diploma in Arts in Drama Education (60 credits) programme.
Our drama teaching programmes are designed to prepare contemporary practitioners in drama performance and education, enabling them to teach in a school or community setting or to run and manage their own drama practice or studio.
The Certificate in Drama Performance is designed for learners who lack performance experience. The programme enables learners to concentrate on developing their performance skills at a high level with a view to progressing to a drama teaching qualification.
The programme allows learners to bridge the gap between their academic and practical capabilities. Learners engage with voice and physical movement work and are introduced to the principles of the creative process, all with the added pedagogical approach.
It is suitable for those who wish to undertake a third level programme but who are not in a position at the time to commit to the requirements of larger programmes.
