home & away streams Home & Away streams have been developed to provide students with placement experience ‘Away’ through the year that complements time spent at ‘Home’ in college. Our unique partnership programme allows students to bring a specialist focus to the core theological content each week, bridging the gap between theory and practice.
H&A: Theology & Performing Arts Combining with PivotPoint, an Oxfordshire-based professional theatre training company, KTC is offering a uniquely blended stream of Theology and Performing Arts.
Mondays to Thursdays are spent in college and Fridays with a partner organisation, along with a three week extended placement.
PivotPoint’s model is based on the classic ‘theatre apprenticeship’, taking on people who show potential, developing them through professional training giving them experience in a theatre context alongside professional actors and performers. It is a ‘whole-person’ approach, developing skill, character, spiritual integrity and understanding by coupling theology with performing arts.
These streams offer practical work experience and the opportunity to gain valuable insight into areas of Christian work and ministry (not validated).
This placement is suited to those who want a taste of the performing arts or who want to go deeper than their current level of training.
We have linked with several organisations to bring expertise in the performing arts, campaigning for justice and supporting the displaced, and are looking for more partnership opportunities for our students.
You will have one full day a week of professional training (one-to-one and small groups) in theatre arts, gaining experience in the life of a performing company. We will also give you personal development mentoring and coaching to encourage you to discover your potential and calling.
H&A: Theology & Justice This stream will run in partnership with the SPEAK Network, a prayer and campaigning network with members based in universities, towns and cities across the UK. SPEAK aims to position and equip students and young adults to bring spiritual, social, economic, political and environmental transformation – to see God’s Kingdom established in all its different facets. Participating in this stream will give you the opportunity to receive training and gain experience in a grass roots NGO by working with SPEAK one day a week. You will follow the theme of God’s justice through the Bible, church history and contemporary Christianity in our core theological content, connecting it with current issues met on placement.
KING’S THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE
H&A: Theology & the Displaced We are partnering with Refugee Support Network (RSN) to offer a stream focussed on combining theological study with practical engagement with those on the margins of society. Based in northwest London, RSN specialises in supporting young people affected by displacement and crisis to overcome the barriers that prevent them from accessing, remaining and progressing in education.
