The Course
The course is delivered with 4 key principles in mind; Learn, Develop, Make and Launch. Each principle is explored throughout the year, culminating in a season in rep, Create, featuring self devised or response work in collaboration with visiting artists as well as director led work from text. There are regular performance opportunities prior to the rep season, as well as the informal sharing of work at the end of each specialist study block, with 3 performances during Block 1.
