Italia Conti’s MA Creative Arts Education programme is designed to nurture and develop innovative and individual teachers and practitioners, who embody and apply specialist skills and techniques supported by grounded knowledge of industry practices, contexts, and the emerging requirements that empower graduates for a sustainable career in various educational contexts including further education, higher education and conservatoire-style drama schools.
The programme is validated by the University of Chichester. Full government funding is available through Postgraduate funding for Home students.
Italia Conti’s new MA/MFA, Teaching and Coaching Actors’ Movement, is either a one-year full time or two-year part time course leading to a qualification that will equip each student to teach movement to actors across all areas of actor training and to work as a movement coach in the industry.
The course distinguishes between the roles of teaching and coaching: teaching focusses on developing the student actor as they learn to negotiate their body in space, through character exploration in rehearsal then guiding them into performance; coaching focusses on understanding the needs of the industry and learning to work within the different mediums of film, TV and theatre.
The course will turn actors into teachers capable of transforming performance art students into performers for whom movement is integral to their creative process. By the end of the course trainee teachers will be able to teach students how to open their body and broaden their craft into the unchartered territory of new work.
This MA/MFA offers opportunities to explore teaching and coaching in real situations, learning from already established practitioners in their struggles and inspirations, and through their daily interactions with students and actors.
Build your career on a strong foundation...
Our Professional Foundation Course in Acting & Theatre Arts will enable you to develop an essential performance practice through training in acting, movement and voice. The course is built to be enriching yet affordable, preparing you for whatever your chosen next steps may be: whether further training at a top conservatoire or jumping straight into the industry.
The course takes place over a full academic year and culminates in a production at YATI’s home theatre in Islington. During your three terms, you will take classes in acting, movement theatre, voice, screen acting, musical theatre, stage combat, audition technique and devised practise, as well as be given essential insights into the industry and opportunities to see productions and network with professional artists.
