Training Opportunity

BA Acting

Collective Acting Studio's BA Acting degree course offers full-time industry-focused actor-training.

This course places a strong emphasis on screen acting – with 50% of the curriculum devoted to this area of the industry – alongside a rigorous training for the stage.

During our BA Acting you will:

  1. Perform in two full-length public theatre productions
  2. Take part in a West End industry showcase
  3. Make an original feature film

There will also be an emphasis on fostering the skills needed to create your own work – such as screenwriting and producing.

Study in state-of-the-art theatre and studio spaces situated in our beautiful Grade 2-listed building – just 10 minutes from London’s West End.

At Collective we champion groups who have traditionally been underrepresented within the Performing Arts – specifically in terms of ethnicity, disability and class.

Belong to a diverse and inclusive community where everyone is welcome!

Being in a Collective class, is like entering a room full of energy. Where actors will constantly be pushing forward their work as actors – and more importantly as creatives. Everyone is offered a chance for their input on the work, and the teachers set a culture of holding ourselves as a creative to a high standard.
