Module Content

Outline Syllabus:The Acting Company module is based around a number of simulated professional performance projects. Each student will have a substantial role in at least one of the productions and will have secondary roles in the others. Each production will be treated as if it were a professional production and it is expected that the students will adopt professional working practices. The productions will be directed by members of the IAB full-time staff, or visiting professional directors. During the module the students will be expected to bring together all their previous studies and demonstrate their capacity to apply their personal and professional approach to performance. Alongside the productions, the students will continue to develop their own acting technique in workshops led by IAB tutors and guest directors.
Additional Information:The Acting Company provides students with a simulated professional performance experience across 4 assessed full performances.
