ACTING FOR NEW MEDIA - FOUNDATION DEGREE

Performing Arts : Higher Education
This entirely new course is a departure from traditional acting training. In response to the developments over the last century and in particular the last ten years in performance media, there is a call for a course which equips acting students with the skills to perform live and on film with the many different media forms with which we now work. This course is an intensely practical vocational training in the skills required to become a rounded modern screen and stage actor, studying theoretical and practical disciplines.
