Acting For Screen at Plymouth Marjon University - UCAS

Course summary

This course trains you to be an imaginative, technically skilful and employable screen actor. The programme has strong industry connections and is, in part, based at a sound stage at PYTCH, a campus of production sound stages and studios in Bristol, where you can gain experience of industry level practice with working practitioners. The programme offers a cohesive approach in which core acting skills are fully integrated to ensure your craft is flexible enough to allow you to develop a personal process but singular enough to offer an in-depth exploration of the art of acting for screen as a specific discipline. Your professional practice is developed from short film to long form drama, from sketch comedy to Voice Over, and the latest VR technologies. You work towards appearing in a professionally produced film as well as being supported to prepare for employment with classes in audition technique, self-taping and self-marketing. A showcase screening for agents, and an industry trip to New York support your career progression. The programme equips you with the essential technical and creative skills required of a working screen actor, motivated artist and independent thinker as well as the critical thinking and research skills required by postgraduate study.
