Gaiety School of Acting

Courses

One Year (Adult)

Our One Year Part Time courses represent our part time school at its most advanced level. These courses are for the adult student who is committed to the pursuit of excellence in the field of acting. All of our One Year Part Time courses consist of 2 classes per week over 3 ten week terms.

The courses below are taught by experienced theatre professionals who have proven track records as Drama Tutors, in addition to their accomplishments as performers. In all cases the work conducted with your tutor is supplemented by a number of classes given by specialist tutors who are experts in the fields of voice, mime, stage combat etc.

All three courses operate as independent one year programmes. However, as the individual courses represent consecutive levels of training, we also ensure that the programme serves the committed student as levels 1, 2, and 3 of a comprehensive 3 year cycle. An audition/interview process is conducted with all applicants for all three courses.

Performance Theatre Company

COURSE DETAILS

The Performance Theatre Company seeks to provide a practical educational experience in the preparation and delivery of three theatre pieces. Each piece will be showcased to a public audience. The Performance Theatre Company is designed to produce performers who are articulate and flexible and who will display a confidence in their physical and vocal communication.
Students will also receive training in theatre company formation and play their part behind the scenes in the production of each theatre piece. A student’s willingness to work hard in this regard will be central in their acceptance to the company. The training will be varied throughout the year and will correspond to the specific needs of each performance. The company will have a director, a voice coach and a movement director.
The main emphasis is on the preparation of the theatre pieces to be showcased at the end of each term. Agents and directors will be invited to all three showcases.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Only those who have completed the Advanced Performance course may apply. Everyone who applies will be called for audition and interview. A reference will be required from the students’ Advanced Performance tutor. Attendance records at Advanced Performance Course will be taken into account.
