Additional information

Company practice explores devised, adapted and scripted theatre with showcase productions in the 200 seat Northbrook Theatre and regional venues. The course develops skills in characterisation, improvisation, voice, physicality, acting for film & TV, and self and performance promotion through a graduated programme of workshops, rehearsals, studio productions, festival work and main house shows.


Performance projects are underpinned by regular vocal and physical theatre techniques classes, including butoh, yoga, silks and acro-balance alongside diction, inflection, projection and breath control applied to text and improvisation. First year training delivers techniques and performance opportunities leading to greater independence of practice and skills application in the second year where the focus shifts to placing student work in industrial contexts such as the Brighton Festival.


Contextual Studies and career development thread through both years of the course enabling students to choose between industry and BA level study upon successful completion of all units. Possibilities for the study of directing also become an option for second year studen
