What will I learn?

GSA’s MA Acting course focuses on practical actor training, provided through a series of project workshops and rehearsals supported by extensive classes in relevant technical skills encouraging resourcefulness, resilience and sustainable practice in students. You will be taught and advised by leading West End directors, casting agents, experienced professionals and leading academics, giving you a unique and comprehensive support network and knowledge base. You will be provided an ensemble training for the development of performance, communication and team skills relevant to the acting profession. You will have opportunities to showcase your skills via public productions and industry showcases, and be inspired to produce original creative work as actors to an advanced level. We keep our cohorts small to ensure you get personal attention and contact from our expert teachers, who have extensive first-hand experience in professional theatre in the UK and internationally. Upon completion of this course, you will have an advanced knowledge of context, style and genre in the practice of acting, with a coherent personal approach to acting techniques. Our intensive MA Acting course offers you practical actor training focusing on technical skills in acting, voice and movement. These support a range of rehearsal projects, screen acting projects and public performances. You’ll also take professional development workshops to help build a bridge between your training and the profession. Your performance opportunities will include a short film project, a public production, and an industry digital showcase.
