Course overview
The Department of Theatre and Performance at Goldsmiths is collaborating with Oklahoma City University, to deliver a newly designed MFA / MA degree in Screen Acting.
This programme is developed for the Oklahoma City University (OCU)’s Los Angeles-based cohort who will spend their second year in London to explore the performance demands, contexts and cultural meanings of screen acting, using a UK tradition of studio-based actor training for global application.
Why study MA Screen Acting
- You'll study in London, with access to the cultural and performing arts networks of a large international city.
- You'll be awarded two degrees on successful completion of the two-year programme: an MFA in Screen Acting from OCU and an MA in Screen Acting from Goldsmiths University of London.
- You'll work in the Department of Theatre and Performance, which has trained performers and artists for over 60 years.
- You'll be supported to consider yourself in the role of actor-creator (sometimes called the actor-plus).
- You'll be given the opportunity to refine key skills in acting for screen through a diverse range of specialist pedagogies in-studio acting, movement, voice and creative production.
- You'll train in a model that places you as the actor, your identity, agency and wellbeing at the centre of the pedagogic process.
- You'll benefit from the dynamic environment of Goldsmiths where there is a strong community of theatre, performance, music and film postgraduates, within reach of the imaginative, theatrical and cinematic stimulus of London’s cultural and creative locations.
- As student practitioners, you'll be encouraged to develop creative, critical, self-reflexive, technical and professional, entrepreneurial strategies for driving independent career pathways, while working collaboratively.
