Overview

East 15 Acting School’s MA Acting is a challenging course that encourages the development of a personal methodology based upon East 15’s unique practices. On one level, it is a thoroughly practical, highly intensive, vocational course. On another level, it is a thought-provoking, life-changing reflection on the function and art of the actor – exploring techniques from some of Europe’s most influential practitioners as well as innovative professional practice from the UK and internationally. MA Acting is a specialist course of one academic year with additional work on marketing students to the industry with a showcase. Students will need discipline and motivation to work at an advanced level. Beyond these, the requirements are abundant energy, insatiable curiosity and a robust sense of humour. Some students may already possess a university degree (not necessarily in a related discipline) whilst others will have established themselves in other career paths and now seek to change the direction of their lives towards that of a professional actor. This course also attracts professional actors who feel the need to reflect on their practice, extend their range and skills, refresh their creativity, increase their professional contacts and gain academic recognition. On completion of the MA Acting program, students are qualified as actors and recognized as graduates of East 15 training. They are equipped to pursue acting careers in theatre, film, TV and radio. Students also have an understanding of how to create their own work, including how to form companies and gain funding, as well as a variety of methodologies for developing their own artistic practice. Students are encouraged to remain in touch with the school, to watch the development of succeeding students and to benefit from informal support and mentoring as they continue in their career.
