The programme includes the development of individual skills in the areas of voice, movement and acting, and their application in a variety of projects and productions. Work is continuously assessed and students have regular feedback sessions with teachers. The aim is to train actors with a high degree of technical facility and flexibility but also individuality and imagination. The course includes work on contemporary plays and styles and classes in camera and microphone technique, but the training is classically based because we believe this provides the best possible foundation and all-round preparation for acting in any form or media.

Acting Work

Acting work based on exercises to scene and project work around realist material; these run in parallel with classes on classical text and improvisation. Project material is chosen in order to stretch students both imaginatively and technically. Acting for camera and microphone techniques are primarily taught.

Voice Training

Voice training develops the range, clarity, strength and flexibility of the actor’s voice and speech. Speaking and singing are closely connected, focusing on breath, rhythm, tune, and phrasing, and releasing the authentic truthful voice in heightened forms. The course focus on study of dialects, phonetics aid in flexibility, the mastery of unfamiliar speech patterns and sight reading in spontaneous interpretation of text.

Movement Training

Movement is an integral part of the training and runs throughout the course.

Professional Development

Throughout the course professional development sessions introduce guest speakers from across the industry to stimulate, provoke and broaden the students’ application of the career on which they have embarked.

Productions

Every student has provided the opportunity to act in the TV productions.
