MA Acting
East 15 Acting School's MA Acting is a challenging vocational course that is designed to prepare graduates to enter into theatre, film and related industries after a year of study. The course prides itself on the development of a personal methodology for each actor, based upon East 15's unique practices. It is a practical, highly intensive, vocational course, involving teaching across a range of subjects such as acting for stage, screen and voice-over, movement, voice and singing. Included in the programme of study is a module on East 15’s unique Living History project. The MA also provides a thought-provoking, life-changing experience; encouraging reflection on the function and art of the actor by exploring techniques from some of Europe's most influential practitioners as well as innovative professional practice from the UK and internationally.
MA Acting is a specialist course of one academic year with additional work on marketing students to the industry with a showcase. The course requires discipline and motivation to work at an advanced level. Beyond these, the requirements are abundant energy, insatiable curiosity and a robust sense of humour.
Some students may already possess a university degree (not necessarily in a related discipline) whilst others will have established themselves in other career paths and now seek to change the direction of their lives towards that of a professional actor.
This course also attracts professional actors who feel the need to reflect on their practice, extend their range and skills, refresh their creativity, increase their professional contacts and gain academic recognition.
This course is taught at our picturesque Loughton Campus.
