Overview

This Performing Arts course from the Atlantic Technological University prepares graduates for work in the rapidly expanding stage and screen industries throughout the three years.

Design students develop skills in spatial awareness, visual research, text and character analysis, model-making, costume design, technical drawing and performance design.

Acting students are introduced to the main acting genres, given various approaches to acting, develop vocal and movement skills, and learn how to create characterisation. Students develop as creative individuals and they will also learn to be part of an ensemble. Whilst the training is essentially practical, it is crucial that an actor learns how to intellectually engage with the text and become an informed actor.

Careers

Graduates work as actors, designers, teachers and facilitators in the performing arts and creative industries. Our graduates work for some major production companies across the film, TV and theatre industries. They have worked as actors and designers on big productions, including Normal People, Orange is the New Black, Game of Thrones, The Queens Gambit, The Young Offenders, Finding Joy and on Broadway and West End productions.
