BA (Hons) Acting and Physical Theatre

... United Kingdom
... University of Essex

Course Overview

East 15 Acting School’s BA Physical Theatre course is for actors who want to specialize in a world of physical and visual performance beyond traditional theatre and television. We combine dynamic, exciting acting training with devised and ensemble work, offering all you would expect from a traditional British drama school coupled with modern European performance methodologies.

We are looking for actors and performance makers who are passionate about physical performance, creating new work, and re-imagining traditional text whilst working in parallel with the traditional intellectual approach to acting.

You acquire a wide skills base by experiencing areas such as aerial circus, devised storytelling, mask, mime, puppetry, and clowning. This is underpinned by core training in acting, voice, singing, and movement, enabling you to create challenging new shows and to re-imagine traditional pieces for public performance.
