About this course
The BA (Hons) Acting programme that we offer is distinctive and unique.
Students are:
- based in a working theatre environment
- able to attain a degree level qualification in just two years
- equipped with highly practical, industry-relevant skills training
- taught by tutors with extensive, current industry experience
- given the opportunity to work with external directors from renowned companies for second year production modules
As a small, intimate training school we feel especially able to support and encourage the specific needs and talents of each prospective actor. Full support is given for both the academic and practical parts of the programme. Our aim is to equip you with a repertoire of skills needed to succeed in the performing arts industry and to also to support your personal development.
The programme has three basic strands: Acting, Movement and Voice, which inevitably overlap in practice and directly influence the work in all areas of the delivered curriculum. Alongside the assessed modules of the degree programme we also include a range of non-assessed modules that are specifically designed to enhance your performance-related skills and employability. These are reviewed annually to keep them current with industry requirements.

Year One is concentrated on the knowledge, understanding and skills that are the foundations of acting and the development of the reflective practitioner.

In addition to the above assessed modules, the CTTC first year programme includes non-assessed modules in: Period Dance, Ballet, Physical Training, Singing Improvisation, Theatre history and a BADC Certificate in Stage Combat. These modules are specifically designed to enhance industry- relevant skills and employability.
Year Two investigates specialist areas of the theatre and focuses on how professional skills and practices may be utilised in the performance industry as well as possible career paths. Personal marketable skills and intellectual skills will extend the range of the performer.
There is an increasing emphasis on the roles and responsibilities of the individual creative artist working within an ensemble and professional environment.
