Performances and Graduation
Each term students rehearse specific pieces culminating in performance. This gives them the opportunity to draw on the skills and techniques taught in their various classes. The rehearsals sessions are one afternoon a week for the first ten weeks of term and then full-time for the final two weeks of term. At the end of the first term, students perform a devised piece in-house to an audience of fellow students and tutors. The second term ends with a performance of a full length play to staff and fellow students. The third term is almost completely taken up with rehearsals which culminate in a graduation production that is open to family and friends.
Graduation
In the final term, students will have the opportunity to meet a range of industry professionals. We invite directors, casting directors, and other key people who will cover subjects in a series of tutorials including:
