The course is unique as it is fully integrated with CityVarsity s Film and Television school. Students also work together with film production, sound engineering, make-up and film animation students on joint projects. This integration provides immediate hands-on experience in a professional working environment and encourages teamwork. Projects include working on radio and in front of the camera on specific productions. The second year concentrates on applying these skills to both live performance and the recorded media.
Private tutorials monitor the progress of each student.
Professional actors and directors are invited to lead workshops as well as form part of the evaluation panel. In addition to the CityVarsity Diploma, students will be armed with all the techniques and skills of their craft, as well as a portfolio including a demonstration tape of their work and a showreel of their film work. The audition details are available on the evaluation form.
