Summary
This masters degree is presented in association with the Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse and enables you to create and showcase an original production.
Our MA is an opportunity to develop or reinvigorate yourself as an actor and create original theatre productions. Working in teams, you learn how to take charge of your professional journey and become self-sustaining, by creating public performances adaptable to different venues and circumstances.
You experiment, innovate, and get to grips with contemporary approaches to extend your range of presentational skills. Through an immersive and ensemble-based approach you develop your technical skills with industry leading professionals. This paves the way for you to step out into the profession with the confidence and connections to be a success. Throughout the course you work as a year group to produce four performances before your final project. For this final project you form into smaller companies, or a single-person company, with a grant from us, to create and realise an original work, testing it out by finding audiences for this in external venues.

| Entry requirements | You are expected to have a good degree in a relevant discipline or significant practical experience such as professional work. Your natural ability, your fit with what and how we teach, your growth and your potential are key factors in our admissions process. We can’t evaluate these solely on your educational achievements, so no matter which course you’re applying for, we look for the following attributes: We want to hear about your acting experience to date, both in training and your professional career. If you do not have a degree in Acting or a related subject, we would like you to demonstrate that you have substantial acting experience. We are interested in versatile performers, so we want to see that you have a broad range of performance capability. We want to know how you have pursued your acting career and continued to develop your craft since graduation. If you are applying to us directly from an undergraduate course, we are interested in how you have been preparing for your future professional career and any relevant experience outside of your course. If you do not have a degree, we want to hear what you have done which demonstrates an advanced interest in acting and becoming an actor. You’ll be working collaboratively on complex projects, often under pressure. Along with your fellow acting students, you’ll work with students from other disciplines, teachers and industry professionals. We want to see that you are able to communicate ideas, respond to direction thoughtfully and can provide critically-informed and considered feedback. We look for evidence that you have a natural curiosity and interest in the world around you and are able to draw from a wide range of experiences and influences in your work. We want to see that you are prepared to embrace all of the opportunities that we offer on this course and more broadly within the Institution. We’d like to know why you’re applying to us and how you think this course will support your development as an actor and contribute to your specific career goals. We’d like to see that you have a firm understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, both in terms of your methodology and technical ability as an actor and preparing for your future career. We want to see how you have used your own initiative to create opportunities that have allowed you to further yourself as an actor. To some extent, this may have been through work on your undergraduate course, but we would especially like to see that you have worked on independent creative projects outside of any training you may have undertaken. |
