Acting For Stage And Screen in Staffordshire University

The aim of our Acting for Stage and Screen degree is to create skilled actors with an ability to work across all performance mediums, balancing acting for TV, film and digital media alongside theatre work.

Practical acting workshops form the basis of your course, with further classes developing your critical and evaluative skills. We teach current acting practice of embodied and psycho-physical acting techniques, drawing upon the specialist work of practitioners such as Demidov, Chekhov and Merlin amongst others.

Our team of lecturers is made up of experienced actors, directors and practitioners. We have links with many local, regional and national media, theatre and arts organisations, and encourage you to take up an industry placement as part of your degree,. You could even spend a semester abroad in your second or third year, training in one of our partner Universities. 

This course consists of a combination of acting workshops, rehearsals and filmed and live performance, ensuring practice is underpinned with relevant theory. Assessment is through presentations, productions, films and other coursework– there are no formal exams!

A truly diverse course, in your first two years you’ll be taught fundamental principles of acting for all mediums using a range of contemporary and classical texts, as well as being introduced to other areas of the industry such as writing and directing to broaden your skill base.

We’ll also teach you the specific techniques required for recorded media such as MoCap, commercial voiceovers, animation voiceover work and acting for radio drama. You will also have the opportunity to act in several public staged productions in your second and third years.

The modules you’ll study in your final year are unique to you. You can tailor your course from a range of numerous options and play to your interests and strengths. This may include acting in a major film project, acting in a classic play or exploring digital performance practice in the University’s state-of-the-art Motion Capture studio. You could choose to write a screenplay or one act theatre piece, write and perform your own monologue or explore dynamic rehearsal techniques as an actor which lead to further public performances.

Our third-year showcase is held each year in Manchester for industry guests, including casting directors and agents.
