BTEC Tech Award in Performing Arts Component 2: Developing Skills and Techniques in the Performing Arts – 47 Slides
A complete, editable PowerPoint for Component 2, aligned to the Pearson BTEC Level 1/Level 2 Tech Award in Performing Arts specification (603/7054/3, Issue 5). It covers all three learning outcomes: rehearsal and design processes (A), applying skills and techniques in performance or realisation (B), and reviewing development and application ©, for both performer and designer routes across acting, dance and musical theatre.
Includes health and safety, professional behaviours, warm-ups, techniques for learning lines and choreography, a drawn stage-area plan, character development tools, design visualisation and final design evidence by discipline, a design pitch structure, a sample logbook, target-setting guidance, model writing for every assessed strand, a marking grid summary, a final checklist and a self-assessment slide. Written in clear, accessible language for Key Stage 4. All examples are original.

What’s in it:

Introduction (5 slides): the box key, the learning outcomes, the assessment by task and strand, and performer vs designer routes.
A Rehearsal and design processes (15 slides):
Practice: health and safety, the eight professional behaviours, warm-ups and cool-downs, and interpreting existing material.
Performer skills: learning lines and songs, learning choreography (counting, marking, chunking), and a drawn nine-area stage plan with blocking terms.
Character and combining: developing a character (given circumstances, objectives, hot-seating, role on the wall), and combining score, choreography and libretto.
Direction and design: responding to direction, the designer’s process, visualising designs with a model box drawing, and a Task 1 model logbook entry.
B Applying skills (13 slides): physical, vocal and musical skills, other performance skills, interpretative skills, expressing style, communicating meaning, adapting to unexpected events, design skills, final design evidence by discipline, pitching a design, and a model design rationale.
C Reviewing (9 slides): what to review, a sample logbook, vague vs specific targets, comparing with professional practice, reviewing the performance, using audience feedback, and two Task 3 models (development and application).
The assignment (4 slides): Tasks 1–3 with evidence, the marking grid across all five strands, and a final checklist.
Review (3 slides): a key words check, a confidence tracker and a “Well done” slide.
