How do I level up?
Performers who participate in the development program will need to participate in the end of semester showcases in order to move up through each level.
Student development will be assessed during their showcase performance, alongside the work they have displayed in lessons lessons and workshops throughout the semester.
If they have developed enough, performers will be awarded a medal for their completed level, and move up to the next.
