Overview

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Acting) provides an intensive studio-based learning environment where students develop holistically as actors. The program focuses on the rigorous preparation of actors working across all areas of the profession for stage, screen and digital media, exposing students to current cultural and methodological practices in the profession. The structure of the course allows intensive skills training and practice to take place alongside rehearsal processes and a wide range of performance situations.

Collaborative practice is regarded as an important element of contemporary theatre and is therefore integral to our training. Our graduates work at all levels of the theatre, film and television industries, and are renowned for their capacity to work creatively and collaboratively in both traditional and ground-breaking performance contexts. Students establish careers in professional theatre, community arts and education, film, television, radio, new media and education.
