Acting Foundation Degree

Year 1

The practical components are realised through performance projects throughout the course. The first year involves: project one – the creative group (devised); project two – character alone (scriptwriting and performance); project three – classical theatre.

Year one modules include academic practice; contextual studies; an introduction to acting processes; movement for actors; voice for actors; the actor; and camera and radio.

You will work on project four, contemporary theatre. This involves movement, voice, film and radio, musical theatre, clowning, and a major production.

Year two modules include a collaborative project; applied acting; applied movement; applied voice; research into industry; and experimental performance practice.

We enjoy extensive professional links with the industry including Curve Theatre, Leicester and The Royal Court Theatre, London. Students are now working in the industry as freelance artists, teachers, performers and directors.
