MA Acting: Classical
The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama
Program description
MA Acting: Classical
This course draws on the influential theories and techniques of the great French acting teacher Michel Saint-Denis, training the expressive body, voice and imagination. Working with some of the greatest dramatic texts ever written students are asked to consider what they mean now. Four key periods of innovation and transition in Western theatre are examined: Greek Tragedy, Clowning and Commedia dell’arte, Shakespeare and the English Renaissance and Stanislavski. Students are encouraged to understand the demands of both art and craft, as participants in, and practitioners of, these theatrical traditions.
Admission requirements
Applicants will normally have either undertaken conservatoire training, have professional acting experience, or have a degree in the broad field of performance and drama studies. Students from other disciplines may be considered if you have sufficient experience of theatre. An offer will normally only be made after audition and interview, and you may also be required to take part in a short practical workshop and/or submit a short piece of written work. Applicants for whom English is not their first language are required to prove their English language proficiency by gaining an overall score of 7.0 in an IELTS test.
