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.
