Gaiety School of Acting

Courses

One Year (Adult)

APPLICATION DEADLINE: September 23rd 2011!

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 are taught by experienced drama tutors and accomplished performers, who complement your work with a number of classes given by tutors specialized in the fields of voice, mime, stage combat etc.

All three courses operate as independent one-year programmes, however, they represent consecutive levels of training.

An audition/interview process is conducted with all applicants for all three courses. For recommendatons on good books to help with your audition click here.
