Using innovative and traditional practitioner approaches within scenarios designed to stretch and challenge you, you will expand psychological and physical processes to hone and fine tune your acting methodology. You will increase your instrumentation and compositional skills, improve physical stamina, strength, and flexibility, gaining aptitudes in singing, vocal resonance, movement, and the amalgamation of all skills to generate a unique contemporary performer. You will collaborate with external professionals and students from other disciplines to realise full, professional-scale productions. You also develop self-employment, enterprise and interpersonal skills. Number of places each year: 20
