A large focus of the programme is on scene study, characterization, monologues and performance. Students work primarily on the techniques of acting and the disciplines that support it such as dance, speech, and voice. Also included are private acting and singing lessons.
The performance component of Acting Level I takes place on the Studio Stage where students are expected to be fully involved in Studio Stage productions and the production process, from acting to stage management to costumes, props, lights, and set construction.
