PERFORMING ARTS CLUB
(Perform • Express • Inspire)
About
Performing Arts Club brings music and theatre together as one student activity in the Faculty of Physical Therapy. Through weekly rehearsals and an annual live show at major faculty events, the club builds self-confidence, voice, and presentation presence — qualities that carry directly into clinical practice — while giving the faculty a shared creative identity and supporting student wellbeing through regular group activity.
Vision
To give the Faculty of Physical Therapy a recognisable creative voice at every major university occasion, and to give its students a stage on which confidence, presence, and expression are built.
Mission
To run consistent weekly rehearsals in music and theatre, culminating in an annual live show, while using performance training to develop the self-confidence, voice, and communication presence that students will later rely on with patients, audiences, and colleagues.
Key Focus Areas
- Vocal and instrumental music performance in group format.
- Acting, improvisation, and short-form theatre.
- Stage presence, voice projection, and audience communication.
- Public speaking and presentation confidence transferable to clinical and academic settings.
- Live event production: rehearsal planning, sound, staging, and timing.
- Group creative work as a regular, protective wellbeing activity.
Expected Activities
- Weekly music and theatre rehearsals throughout the academic year.
- An annual live show — a musical performance or short play — at a major faculty event.
- Performances at graduation ceremonies, the open day, and faculty celebrations.
