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 Year in Acting
COURSE DETAILS
The Performance course is designed to give participants an opportunity to explore the process of acting in a supportive and structured environment. Students are encouraged to embark on a personal journey that will challenge their perceptions, develop spontaneity, and foster imaginative development.
In term one the focus is on team building, self-awareness, observation, movement, storytelling and image work. In term two the emphasis is to create a sense of ensemble, develop a sense of personal focus, work on entrances, exits and stage pictures. Term three will focus on actor and character relationships, stage business and spatial awareness.
A considerable part of each term is spent on showcase preparation. In term one, students will prepare monologues that they will show to a member of the Gaiety School teaching staff. In term two, duologues are prepared and presented to other students, and in term three duologues are prepared and presented to a public audience.
