Course summary

Our Acting MFA is an intensive and rigorous postgraduate programme designed to train highly versatile, contemporary performance practitioners.


Through focused, practical training, you’ll develop the skills, confidence, and knowledge to perform across a wide range of contexts. You’ll also be empowered to create your own work in diverse settings – including devised theatre, movement-led pieces, community events, and more.


Rather than following a single methodology, the Acting MA/MFA takes an innovative approach to actor training. Alongside traditional techniques such as psychological realism, Shakespeare, and text analysis, you’ll expand your practice through physical performance, compositional skills, extended vocal techniques and contemporary methods including Viewpoints, Suzuki training, Devising, Gaga, and more.


You’ll engage in workshops exploring new and emerging technologies, ensuring your training equips you for the evolving landscape of performance.


Your training will be led by active practitioners from world-renowned theatres and ensembles. Recent tutors and visiting artists have included members of Complicite, Punchdrunk, Cheek by Jowl, Shunt, the Royal Court Theatre, Sasha Waltz & Guests, as well as leading directors, writers and makers such as Katie Mitchell, Dimitris Papaioannou, Martin Crimp, and Tim Etchells (Forced Entertainment).


By engaging with both contemporary performance-making methodologies and rigorous actor training, you’ll develop as a multi-hyphenate performer-maker, able to create original work, collaborate with other artists, and perform in productions led by others.


In addition to intensive studio-based training, you will join a community of home and international postgraduate students across the College, where you will explore practice-based research as a key element of your studies.


Research is at the forefront of Rose Bruford College. We understand research as something that can be embodied, written, devised and performed in multiple forms – supporting you to develop as both a critically engaged artist and researcher.
