The Bachelor of Fine Arts – Acting program in the Department of Theatre and Film does not follow the typical program of a traditional acting school. The University of British Columbia program combines professional acting training with a solid grounding in theatre history and a liberal arts education.
The BFA Acting program focuses on the development of the actor’s instrument and as they progress through their degree they will study and develop their own acting styles and disciplines.
Admission into the BFA Acting program at UBC is limited and is based on each individual’s audition and supplemental application information.
In the first two years, students pursuing a degree in acting will focus on storytelling, improvisation, scene study, movement and voice. In their third year, we cover the study and practice of acting styles including Commedia dell’arte, Chekhov and Shakespeare.
The fourth-year incorporates screen acting, auditioning, solo creation, singing, voice-over and stage combat. Additionally, their courses are fully integrated with theatre productions and students will have the opportunity to act in shows and work with guest artists and industry professionals.
