BA Acting (CDT) at Central

BA Acting (CDT) is an innovative and rigorous acting degree specialising in Collaborative and Devised Theatre, offered by The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. The course emphasises the creation of new theatre and embraces a multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary methodology. Students graduate with the skills to work in classical and contemporary theatre, film, radio and television, and are accomplished makers of their own work. Acting CDT celebrates the creative potential of collaborative processes, as well as the development of the individual actor. The core actor training includes the psychophysical techniques of Jacques Lecoq, Michael Chekhov, Constantin Stanislavski and Kristin Linklater and emphasises an embodied and experiential approach. The course encourages actors to develop rehearsal techniques for script-based work as well as explore the most up-to-date forms of theatre and filmmaking and to have a full creative and political engagement with their work. Students are entitled to full Equity status upon graduation. Acting CDT is in creative partnership with Complicite.
