Course Overview

The BA Acting for Stage and Screen course will develop a core set of skills and will also develop transferrable skills (linked to UEL Core Competencies and the Career Passport) for the creative industries.

The integration of both staged and screen-based acting techniques, dramaturgy and creative collaboration with technical and creative areas mirrors the nature of the contemporary industrial context, in which traditional career pathways have been superseded by more diverse skill sets and practices applied across disciplinary and industrial contexts.

Programme-specific skills will include: acting for stage and screen, dramaturgy, video editing, creative writing, creative and technical production, interactive portfolio development, sound recording (environmental, Foley stage, stage), and sound design.

You will be able to collaborate and participate in a range of projects, resulting in a portfolio of project work that represents a broad range of skills and experience, with the depth of both disciplinary and interdisciplinary skills.

This approach anticipates a diverse world of work, building skills to create coherence and impact that is transferable across multiple industry contexts.
