Creative Drama & Theatre Arts (Level 5)

Description

Creative Drama and Theatre Arts (Theatre Performance)Students who successfully complete Drama Level 5 and level 6 in Kinsale Campus can progress to Sunderland University (UK) and take a further one-year course to achieve a BA honors degree. This unique and long-established course has a reputation for being very different from other forms of theatre training. Whilst it provides complete actor’s training, covering script work, improvisation, characterization, physical theatre and devising skills, there is a strong emphasis on personal and artistic growth, alongside others, in an ensemble group experience. The training is mostly practical. An accumulation of theatre skills, explored in friendly, non-judgmental workshops, lead to public performances that are renowned for their originality and extraordinary dramatic vitality. The drama course also integrates other strands of the arts to complement theatre experiences, so students who wish to develop visual, musical, dance or other artistic skills are particularly well-suited to this training. Classes and performances take place in the college’s unique Amphitheatre and well-equipped studio as well as in outside theatres and site-specific venues.
