Drama (Level 6)

Description

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 course is designed for the next generation of creative practitioners entering the performance industries, whether as actors, writers, directors, composers, singers, dancers, or stage managers. Students are encouraged to find and follow their own unique path into the creative world, and to discover through experimental project work and performances, the tools, experiences, contacts and friendships they might need to achieve this. Students enrolling on the course will have already developed core performance skills. The teaching practice on Kinsale Campus is underpinned by an ensemble approach to theatre and the course is delivered through practical workshops and self-directed projects. Emphasis is placed on devising original work through improvisation as well as the study and performance of existing play texts. Course content also includes industry preparation and acting for camera. 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.
