One Year Foundation Course

A broad-based course providing basic training in acting, stage management, writing for theatre and design aimed at students with less experience.

A most useful course prior to drama school or university to gain experience, confidence and practice within the drama school environment, or for those seeking a career change or who wish to learn more about theatre and its disciplines.

The practical class work involves:

• Acting and Improvisation
• Voice
• Movement and Dance
• Singing
• Textual Interpretation and Analysis
• Alexander Technique
• Physical Theatre
• Stage Combat
• Technical Aspects of Theatre and Set Design
• History of World Drama
• Audition Technique
• Writing for theatre and information on the industry

Graduates of the course have gone on to drama school (including LAMDA, RADA, Guildhall, Drama Centre, Central and ALRA), to university and to directing, drama criticism and writing for theatre.

There are no UK government grants or funding for this course. Students have to be privately financed.
