Bachelor of Dramatic Art
This degree provides an extensive introduction to all the major aspects of theatre, and rigorous training in one specialisation - performance, production or theatre practice. Performers develop consistent competence and confidence in all aspects of stagecraft, whether in the theatre or in front of a camera. Production students develop solid skills in stage management, design and direction suitable for a variety of theatrical careers. Theatre Practice leads to competence in both acting and theatre production suitable for a diversity of support roles. Theatrical productions are a regular feature throughout. Industry placements include the overseas screen acting training in Hollywood. Specialist studies are layered with exploration of a Christian worldview that supports personal and professional ethics and social responsibility.
