Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Acting and Physical Theatre (W494)

Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Acting and Physical Theatre (W494) is for actors who want to specialise in a world of physical and visual performance beyond traditional theatre and television. It combines dynamic, exciting acting training with devised and ensemble work, offering all one would expect from a traditional British drama school coupled with modern European performance methodologies. This program looks for actors and performance makers who are passionate about physical performance, creating new work and re-imagining traditional text whilst working in parallel with the traditional intellectual approach to acting. Students acquire a wide skills base by experiencing areas such as aerial circus, devised storytelling, mask, mime, puppetry and clowning. This is underpinned by a core training in acting, voice, singing and movement, enabling them to create challenging new shows and to re-imagine traditional pieces for public performance.
