You'll benefit from our extended community of practice which includes ongoing relationships with schools, industry and student alumni. These partnerships will broaden your knowledge of the performing arts industry and prepare you for the employment and career opportunities within it. Acting students will also have regular opportunities to demonstrate your performance skills and abilities in our live performance and production events.
Our teaching staff are internationally recognised within the arts sector as performing artists in their own right. Working across theatre, opera, dance, new media, contemporary performance practice, playwriting, film-making and music our teachers bring with them a wealth of experience and knowledge.
Venue Partner
