This programme has been designed by working professionals to allow students to develop the skills required for performing on stage and screen. This joint approach gives experience of both mediums and offers the student a distinct advantage in the job market or to explore further the craft of Acting. You will develop core acting skills in voice, characterisation and physicality for performances on stage and screen as well as contemporary and innovative practices. The course is vocational, with a strong focus on the development of your own practice - not only performance but also the ability to create your own portfolio of work. You will be treated as an ‘Actor in training’ with professional standards expected on all projects; these skills will be developed by working alongside guest lecturers and industry professionals from theatre and film. You will be encouraged and supported to secure professional opportunities throughout the programme; for example, one of our students has a role in the latest Ken Loach film, alongside work for BBC3. Although a relatively new programme at the School, this course already has strong links to the industry and opportunities for networking, which could lead to future employment opportunities. Core acting skills of voice, physicality and characterisation will be covered alongside work on devised and scripted text for both stage and screen; you will take part in two full theatre productions each academic year to showcase the skills gained. Your skills will be pushed even further during the second year of your studies, where there will be opportunities to explore Classical Theatre, Clowning, and Acting for Media. Your three years of study will culminate in putting together an extensive CV, professional-standard showreel and a solo show at ARC for agents and industry professionals, as well as a full theatre production. Alongside skill development, you will work collaboratively with other students across a range of degree courses – costume, photography, film, television and theatre production, visual effects – to produce brand new material created by film and theatre scriptwriters. This collaborative approach will enrich your experience on the programme and support you in generating a credible body of work.
