Acting (Stage and Screen) BA (Hons) is aimed at students looking to develop their knowledge, understanding and skills in acting on stage, screen and in immersive and digital spaces. <br/><br/>This is a practical and creative course in which you will have the opportunity to develop skills which are essential for a range of careers in the creative industries and beyond. <br/><br/><br/>* Taught primarily through practical workshops in professionally equipped studio spaces, students will benefit from dedicated technical support for theatre, film and wardrobe needs as well as a range of equipment available on loan for video, recording, sound and lighting. <br/><br/><br/>* The course is predominantly practice-based with workshops and classes exploring a wide range of different styles and forms from character building methodologies, to devising performances for theatrical, digital and experimental spaces. You will have a contextual underpinning to the work you do, become a critical and reflective practitioner and an industry focus. <br/><br/><br/>* This degree combines devising, scripted and experimental work with opportunities for live and mediated performances emphasising the development of acting as an art form. Teaching and learning methods selected for this course are designed to facilitate your ability to develop and reflect on your own skills and understanding, and to foster links between this, the practice of others, and theoretical knowledge and concepts. <br/><br/><br/> **Key course benefits**<br/><br/><br/>* You will have opportunities to learn and work on projects with students from other courses in the School of Media and Performing Arts which may include film, media, music and photography.
