The Actor Musicianship programme offers unique, practical, NCDT accredited training for actors who have musical skills. It is taught by the same team as the Acting programme, and shares the same core disciplines and approaches to performance. You will be guided by experienced staff, including industry professionals, who will help you to develop the skills of the actor musician though practical classes in movement, voice and approaches to text and character. You will also be developing your existing musical skills for use within a variety of performance contexts. Perhaps most importantly, you will explore how these skills interconnect. Your actor’s imagination will be developed to help you create, lead and make music, whilst acting classes will explore the musicality of performance.
Your final year will introduce you to the profession through a series of fully mounted productions, including a London Showcase. You will develop skills for a range of media including theatre, film, television and radio. Your employability will be enhanced, as the range of skills you will develop on this unique programme will help to make you versatile and adaptable – ready for the ever changing and highly competitive world of professional theatre and associated media.
