| The course is designed to provide students with a range of skills for sustainable employment within the performing industries with a focus on devising, improvisation and acting. Students are encouraged to create theatre companies to produce their own work. The course is intended to create more independent performers who are equally comfortable creating devised commissioned performances in unusual venues, such as a site-specific piece, as well as having the essential skills to perform on a more traditional stage. Creation of new and original work is a key element of the course without losing sight of the importance of established practitioners and their methods. Therefore, the course provides students with the skills to act but will also nurture expertise that many actors use alongside performing professionally to sustain a career, such as directing, play writing, devising, workshop leadership and teaching.
