Training Opportunity

Acting Diploma

The Acting Diploma is a part-time, evening and weekend course (January to August) that develops acting, voice and movement skills.

This course is designed to act as a springboard for those wishing to undertake actor or performance training. The course develops your skills as an actor with specific classes on improvisation, text analysis, voice, movement, devising, and character development. All teaching staff are theatre professionals and work within the drama school sector as well as the industry. In the final summer term, you will rehearse and perform in one of Central’s fully equipped theatres. Please note that this is not an agents’ showcase.

In line with the ethos of our full-time courses, full attendance is expected of all modules as well as the Intensive Weeks.
