Post-graduate Courses

* MA in Fine and Applied Arts:
Course overview:
The MA in Fine and Applied Arts is a studio based programme which seeks to develop students' art practice to a professional standard and is designed to help them establish new parameters of intention and enquiry. This reflective practice takes place through continuous theoretical discourse and advancement of studio practice. This commitment to an intense and focussed examination of personal concerns will be structured by the student and will emerge from the skills and achievement of undergraduate study or a prior substantial engagement in professional practice.

The MA is a distinct and self-contained qualification as well as a learning opportunity to progress to further study or professional practice. The culmination of the MA is demonstrated via a public exhibition and publication of a body of research presented to a professional standard and would normally include evidence of practical studio work, critical evaluations contextualising contemporary and historical practices and evidence of underpinning research strategies.

act up, South London
Courses / Programs
act up is an independent organisation specialising in communication and acting training. We are located in Lavender Hill, near Clapham Junction in South London. Clapham Common Tube Station is the closest tube station to Lavender Hill. Almost all of the acting and communication training courses take place at The Royal Academy of Dance, located at Battersea Square, which is a 5 minute walk from Clapham Junction in South London. All of the acting courses are short, part-time and professionally based.

All of our courses run regularly throughout the year, and they are open to anyone over the age of 18 years. Among those attending are participants who travel from as close as the next street, right across London, or as far afield as Birmingham, Sheffield and Exeter.

Our main philosophy with all our training is to show every participant a good time. Each time we run a course, it is always very different as the core of the work is created around the participants, so no one course is ever the same. The actors and act up do however have a structured outline for each course; the environment is designed and then it's up to the participants to be brave and throw themselves in.
Year-round short, part-time & professionally based acting courses or communication training courses (for 18 + years):

Acting Courses:
- act one (beginners): 2-hour, eight-week course
- act for foundation course: 2-hour, eight-week course
- act for (aimed at anyone who is considering seeking a career as a professional actor): 3-hour, seven-week course
- Alexander Technique for acting
