The UAL Level 2 Award/Diploma in Performing and Production Arts (Acting Pathway) is a course designed to develop students' potential for working in the acting profession and prepare them for future qualifications.

During this fast paced, practical one-year course, students will cover a wide range of performance skills, contextual activities related to acting and will also be given the opportunity to be involved in public performances. The method of learning is a mixture of both tutor led and practical sessions.

Those enrolled on the course will study a range of acting styles and apply these to on stage performances, as well as advancing their theatrical production skills. There will also be a focus on enhancing their ability to carry out research to further knowledge and understanding of plays, characters, key theatre practitioners and the performing arts industry.

The course is taught by subject specialists, and you will be working both independently and in small groups, utilising our state of the art facilities. There may also be opportunities for students to attend external performances or workshops with local theatres. There may also be the chance to take part in the National Theatre Connections festival at the Royal & Derngate.

In some sessions, skills development or projects, you may work alongside other Performing Arts L1 & L2 students. This reflects industry practice and behaviours.
