University of Chichester

Chichester , England ,United Kingdom

BA (Hons) in Acting

BA (Hons) Acting is a practical performance-based programme, running in parallel to the established and successful BA (Hons) Theatre. 

You will become a member of a shared creative community, where cultural identity, experimentation and research are central to the process of making live and recorded theatre. The programme recognises the importance of craft and technique, but also of critical thinking, in relation to the performer at the heart of the creative process of theatre.

You will work with established text and develop an understanding of key acting styles and contexts; you will also work to produce and perform in original work and develop highly relevant professional contacts that set you up for demanding, diverse and flexible careers in the professional theatre. Across all three years, students are engaged in a developed vocational programme, designed to develop significant skills, ideas and experiences relevant to creative performance careers.
