A programme for aspiring professional actors
SRC’s Three-Year Professional Programme is designed for students seeking rigorous preparation for theatre, film and television. Admission is by audition, giving the School an opportunity to meet each candidate, understand their motivation and identify the potential to be developed.
Across the three years, disciplines are taught in dialogue with one another. Students progress from a command of the actor’s basic tools to character and scene work, before moving towards screen performance and the practical demands of the profession.
Body, voice, text and ensemble
Training combines acting, improvisation, speech, voice, singing, movement, dance theatre and physical preparation. Theatre and film history, set design, costume and technical stage languages support the practical work and help students understand the creative process as a whole.
Classes take place in the School’s studios and performance spaces. Through SRC OpenAir, students also work in natural settings that sharpen listening, presence and adaptability.
The three years
- Year One — Body and Voice: the technical, physical and vocal foundations of the actor’s craft.
- Year Two — The Stage: text, character, relationships and the construction of a scene.
- Year Three — The Camera: screen acting, set practice, dubbing and preparation for professional work.
Admissions
Requirements, dates and application materials for the next selection round are published on the Auditions page. Candidates may also complete the aptitude questionnaire, which helps the School understand their experience and motivation before meeting them.
