Overview

You will be guided by experienced staff, including industry professionals, who will help you to develop your actor-musician skills through practical classes in movement, voice, music and approaches to text and character. You will also develop your existing musical skills for use in a variety of performance contexts. Importantly, you will explore how these skills interconnect.

Your imagination to create, lead and make music will be developed whilst acting classes will explore the musicality of performance. You will need to be able to play at least one instrument to a good standard to get the best from this course, and we do not typically consider ‘voice’ to be an instrument.
