Acting (BA)

This Acting Degree is for those with an interest in, or a passion for acting who are looking to expand their minds and skills but who aren’t necessarily considering a career in theatre.  The confidence and public speaking skills and critical and artistic awareness developed in the required courses position the BA graduates to be teachers, administrators, entrepreneurs, agents, public servants, lawyers, and even ministers!

This program of acting training emphasizes spontaneity, present-ness, and physical and vocal courage as well as discipline, technique, intellectual development, social context, and professionalism.  Students will take courses in acting technique, physical and vocal training, a vast range of performance styles, devising original theatrical creations, stage combat, and classical acting. For those who continue into the Honours Acting concentration (additional year of study), the rigour of the training intensifies and includes three public productions.
