City Lit’s short weekend courses are increasingly popular and a great way to spend time exploring a new or favourite subject, from jewellery-making and screenwriting to singing and aromatherapy.

Access to HE diploma (drama)

Have you completed a foundation course at City Lit or elsewhere, or do you have comparable experience? This course, accredited by the Open College Network London Region, culminates in a full-scale theatre production. Regular attendance is essential and you must be aged 19 or over. One-day group auditions take place in July each year (see below). Please bring two passport-sized photographs and prepare two contrasting audition pieces, from a modern and a classical play, lasting no longer than two minutes each. If you did not complete our foundation course you should be prepared to perform one of the basic exercises of 'psychological realism' - an endowment, the object exercise, the memory recall or emotional access. Final productions run through to 5 June, with exit tutorials taking place in the following two weeks. Auditions for 2009/10 are held on 13-17 July 09. Auditions for 2010/11 are held in early July 10. Please note: there is a non-refundable audition fee of £10. All courses begin with an induction on Saturday 12th September 09 10.00 – 13.00.
