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. Full day group auditions are held in July each year for which you will be required to demonstrate your speaking and listening skills. You need to have memorised two contrasting audition pieces from a modern (1950's onwards) and classical (Shakespeare, Greek or Jacobean) play no longer than 2 minutes each. Your ability to read and interpret text, to write clear and accurate short pieces of information on the application form and show evidence of working successfully in a collaborative context will also form part of the audition process. Please bring two passport-sized photographs. 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 to11 June, with exit tutorials taking place in the following two weeks. Auditions for 2011/12 are held in early July 11. Please note: there is a non-refundable audition fee of £10. All courses begin with an induction.
