Task 6C - Award Specialism Title Proposal

BA (Hons) Professional Practice in Arts.... 

I have been reflecting on my past and current work in order to choose the title for my award specialism title. 
This has not been an easy decision so I thought I would put down some ideas as to why I have chosen to go with the title of "Theatre Arts"

When training for my diploma I was given the option of a Diploma in 'Dance' or 'Musical Theatre'. This was very simple option for me, Musical theatre has never been my strong point and within this time of my career Dance was the path I wanted to go down. 
My first job after graduation was as a Dance Coach for a local performing school, which was a natural extension of my Diploma. 
However my initial thought process behind my enrolling on this course was a desire to go into a more formal teaching route within a more academic subject. 
I studied Drama and Theatre Studies at A Level and was alway torn between going down the more serious acting route vs Dance training. 

As I have been considering my path within this course I am defiantly seeing myself leaning towards the teaching, academic side of performing and within my most resent development, researching Drama and Play Therapies. 
Through my initial research I can really see the familiarity with lots of Drama and Play Therapy techniques  and what I would have considered to be 'drama games'. 
With continuing on down this route of inquiry I feel the most appropriate title for my award would have to be in keeping with theatre and drama. 

These are just my first thoughts on the subject and if anyone has any other thoughts regarding my title feedback would be much appreciated!
