Acting for Stage and Screen - BA (Hons)

Regent's University London

If you’re looking to become a versatile and multi-skilled performer, and join a creative community of filmmakers, screenwriters and actors, this is the course for you. It has been carefully designed alongside industry experts to provide you with the skillset to pursue an exiting career in this industry. You’ll explore acting for stage and camera, with opportunities to collaborate and build a portfolio of original work – learning to take a production from concept to performance. You'll discover how stories are told through performance and what it means to come together as a community of actors – working practically on projects you choose: writing scripts, devising new techniques and working alongside Film Production students on short films, live television shows and more. This is delivered through two strands: acting for the stage and acting for the screen. You’ll build a broad understanding of the social, political and cultural contexts that have influenced playwrights, directors and performers over the years, and learn how theatre has evolved in response to the needs and aspirations of its audiences. By combining theory and practical application, you’ll develop your own artistic identity – exploring acting, voice, movement and scenography to hone your techniques and build your own creative toolkit. London is one of the world’s greatest theatre cities and a hub for world cinema. Your studies will be enhanced by field trips, workshops, masterclasses and guest lectures from industry experts, where you’ll discover how people from different backgrounds use the arts to connect, collaborate and comment on the world around us.
