You'll receive the same amount of contact hours as you would on a three-year course. It is limited to a small number of students, working in smaller groups, with plenty of direct teaching time. The core of the course is two years of acting classes based on the approaches of Michael Chekov, Vakhtangov, Laban and Anne Bogart. Acting class is closely aligned with a combined voice and movement class, exploring how these instruments work together to create truthful characters in whom the physical is finely attuned to the psychological. Programme modules cover acting techniques, the connection of physicality and voice, ensemble theatre, text analysis, comedy character development, the actor as theatre-maker and acting for camera techniques.

The first year focuses on training your acting instrument. The course takes you through the fundamental skills and theories of acting, as you begin to learn and experience the craft of acting and what it entails. Acting class focuses on the creativity and invention of the acting process. The goal is to develop the actor's personal instrument and artistic freedom, in order to create exciting theatre. Aligned with the acting class are the Instrument modules, which introduce you to voice and movement synthesised as a single instrument that enables you to play and create. You focus on techniques of Michael Chekov and Vakhtangov and you spend some weeks at the home of the Vakhtangov technique, the Shchukin Institute in Moscow, taking class in building a character. At the end of year one you undertake your first performance assignment, making a piece of theatre as an ensemble for a site-specific performance. The second year prepares you for a career in the industry with 5 productions rehearsed in professional conditions alongside acting class and voice and movement class. You’ll apply the comprehensive acting skills you have learnt to different styles and you’ll learn to adapt your craft whilst keeping the integrity of your process. You’ll learn about casting and acquire the knowledge you’ll need about agents, auditions, and the job of building a career as a working actor and marketing yourself. As well as the theatre productions you appear in a full length made for TV production to bring your acting for camera skills to a professional level and you take part in an agents' showcase in London. ​
