Module A: Process and Practice (Year 1) Assessment 1: Concept and Development (85 Credits) This unit covers the history, theory, and key techniques of stage and screen acting. You'll study methods like Stanislavski and Meisner, develop character and script analysis skills, and build confidence in voice, movement, and emotion through practical workshops. The unit also explores the social and professional contexts of performance.
