This innovative course is designed to meet the increasing demand for highly-skilled practitioners who possess a broad range of theatre-making skills. Your studies will form part of a continuous research and development process, in which you experiment with and co-create performance works, showcasing a selection of your choice.

Working effectively as an ensemble in a respectful and supportive environment forms a key part of your training. Our approach towards 'actor cultivation' is inspired by the most up-to-date research into the Stanislavsky system and highlights the uniqueness of each performer as conditioned by imaginary circumstances. You will also have the chance to explore physical, political, applied, ritual and post-dramatic methodologies as you progress.

The creative industries offer many opportunities in acting and performance. Once you graduate, you could also go on to work in:

• direction
• dramaturgy
• playwriting
• academia
• education
• journalism
• arts administration
• applied theatre.
