About

The BA (Hons) Acting at Central:

A comprehensive classical and contemporary actor training
Prepares actors who aim to become world-leading artists in theatre, film and television
Focuses on new thinking in response to the rapidly evolving world of the arts and culture
3 years full-time, and students are entitled to full Equity status upon graduation.

The course has four key principles:

Self-discovery â€“ we encourage you to investigate and interrogate your world, challenging your own habits and preconceptions and opening yourself to the journey of the training, while learning to accept uncertainty and failure as part of the process of change and growth, and making curiosity, originality and artistic courage the cornerstones of your professional and artistic life.

Artistry â€“ we offer you the skills you need to build your craft as an actor, so that your imagination and creativity can find expression in truthful characterisation and in the telling of complex and profound stories that offer insights into our world and the human condition.

Empowerment â€“ within the safety of the creative space and the integrity of the acting ensemble, we promote the honest exchange of thoughts and ideas, the sharing of creative inspiration and the generosity of spirit which should always characterise a true actor.

Tradition and innovation â€“ intrinsic to this course is a commitment to studying longstanding theories and practices while welcoming innovation and new vision.
