AA/AS in Acting

The Acting programme provides solid actor training using concepts, techniques and methods of acting to prepare students for the arts field. The programme aims to promote and energise the local cultural industry with an understanding of the social use of art. The curriculum includes acting, dramaturgy, music education, art history, improvisation and applied theatre, with puppet and mask workshops in the final levels. Students also complete pre-professional practice and a final project. Graduates can work as actors or performers, lead workshops in educational and social contexts, and take part in multidisciplinary cultural projects. The timetable begins in the late afternoon, with virtual and in-person classes. Students also gain confidence in performance through ensemble work and public presentations of their practice.
