MA Performance (Acting) is primarily a practical acting course. Workshops in voice, text, movement and acting, which you'll experience in our state-of-the-art rehearsal studios, are designed to enable you to work to professional standards by the time you graduate.
We respond to current industry trends, and examine theory, history and cultural contexts that inform your performance practice. This allows you to become an articulate practitioner - someone who can talk about their work, their methods and their approaches at auditions and when meeting industry professionals.
The latest industry best practices - those that are inclusive and empower the actor - inform our course. With us, you'll learn to navigate the modern acting environment, such as setting boundaries around physical contact and intimacy, disclosing neurodiversity, and safeguarding your own wellbeing as a professional in this competitive field.
As an actor, you'll often be the public face of a project. For this reason, we also provide media training - including social media advice - so that you'll become skilled in communicating with interviewers and audiences.
We offer places based on your quality, commitment, and ability to benefit from the course. Usually, but not invariably, you'll have a first degree. We invite individuals with a range of academic disciplines to apply.
There are a number of open days and events each year that enable you to meet staff and view the facilities. There are no formal interviews; places are based on the submissions of the relevant forms and recordings.
