- You'll learn to become an ‘actor-plus’: developing confidence as an actor while being given access to other skills such as directing, writing and producing.
- Studying with us will enable you to work in the theatre and screen industries and equip you to create, innovate, and initiate change, in your own right as an artist.
- Goldsmiths is famous for producing theatre practitioners who have agency and critical capacity.
- Your learning experience will benefit from recent developments and diversification in the models and methods of actor training and ethics that we have been exploring on BA Drama and Theatre Arts at Goldsmiths, and now with an expanded practice in Acting skills.
- There will be classes in rehearsal ethics, characterisation and ensemble skills, movement, voice, stage, screen and audio genres, text-based and devised work.
- Our training assists you in achieving excellence and avoids erasing aspects of your identity in the process of training such as race, ethnicity, sexuality, class, regional accent or disability.
