If you are serious about a career as a professional actor, then you need a programme that will allow you to perfect the skills and foster the professionalism that will give you the edge over others in your field.

The Bachelor of Arts in Performing Arts is a three-year full-time professional actor training programme which encourages students to become ‘intelligent actors’, who are versatile and adaptable and equipped with a variety of performance and transferable work skills.

You will become proficient in a number of acting, movement and voice skills as well as studying the history of theatre and important key performance styles and plays.

Now based within the specialist facilties of the Carrolls building in DKIT (click here for a video of these facilities) , you will work with students from the Creative Media programmes in the creation of short films & performance projects, while also having the opportunity to mix with students from Music, Games, Multimedia & Computing in the Creative Hub of the North East. As you move into third year, you will focus on professional performance, taking part in a number of major public performances directed by working professionals, along with appearing in a showcase for invited agents.

Research practice and critical evaluation skills also form part of your overall professional development.
