 http://www.arts.ac.uk/csm/courses/postgraduate/ma-acting-drama-centre-london/ 
                
  • Primarily a stage-acting course (with some screen-acting training). Practiced techniques developed to address the demands posed by great European classics.​
​
  • It offered a solid grounding in acting technique, rooted in the long-established traditions of England and Russia.
​
  • Numerous theatrical approaches explored. 

​
  • Text and subtext explored in detail.

  • Specifically addressed the needs of the Jacobean stage.

  • Developed skills required by the realist style: multi-layered characterisation, recognition of the subtle rapport between text and sub-text, an ability to be ‘private in public’.
