Actor development
The primary focus here is on stage performance and the setting up of theatre productions. Our approach will facilitate your understanding and experience as an actor.
In addition there are opportunities to develop your acting talents in other areas: acting in front of the camera in our short film project; acquire a greater awareness of movement and physiology, whilst contributing to the Game Art line’s animations, through projects with our motion capture equipment; in our sound studio with voice acting for radio theatre, films or computer games; possibilities to work with other lines such as music and art. Your interests are a deciding factor in the direction you take.
Introductions to both the techniques of Stanislavsky and Viewpoint are central to the course as is the role of creative play.
