have formed a deeper understanding of performance and directing techniques as they are currently employed within the theatre, television, and film industries
demonstrate the developed vocal, physical, emotional, and interpretive skills required by professional actors, such as:
- advanced skills in acting techniques required for performance in a variety of theatrical and screen genres
- the ability to analyse movement, manipulate expressive qualities, and perform with physical accuracy and clarity
