As many as six productions are undertaken in intimate settings, challenging the actors to rise to the demands of working at close proximity with the audience. This work gives a valuable introduction to camera technique studied during Year Three. Technical classes demand a deeper understanding of the subject as well as more effective application in rehearsal and performance process. The overall student experience is focused on establishing a firm basis for the growing inter-relationship of the company. The Second Year tutor has overall responsibility for the four Units, including teaching.
Additional directors teach a selected number of Units.
Textual and devising work take place within Acting and Rehearsal slots as shown on the timetable, as do specialist classes in Radio. It is the greater force of the ensemble that can transcend performance level, and the aim is to give the students opportunity to experience something of this in their own performance projects.
