The Australian Performing Arts Conservatory’s (APAC) Bachelor of Screen and Stage (Acting) is a Higher Education program developed from our very successful Advanced Diploma which has been offered for over twenty five years, and has produced a significant number of graduates demonstrating an impressive range of national and international industry achievements and awards.
The skills and tools obtained at APAC equip students for film and stage work all over the world.
A Bachelor degree has become the entry level benchmark internationally for the industry which demands higher order skills across: Executive, Production, Creative, and Technical roles. The exponential development of digital technology, in both live and screen contexts, demands a multi-disciplinary approach to integrate the technical and the creative. The Bachelor of Screen and Stage (Acting) is a practice-led multi-disciplinary course for Screen and Stage production and performance, underpinned by broad theoretical knowledge; contextual understanding; highly developed analytical and critical thinking skills, embedded in professional practice. The underlying philosophical approach is based in and informed by the ancient Greek philosophy of “Koinonia” reconciled with 21st century practice.The shape, detail and progression of the Acting discipline is designed to equip students with not only a detailed suite of technical performance skills, but equally, broader critical thinking, analytical and communication skills, and contextual knowledge. This range of micro and macro knowledge, skills and attributes, will provide graduates with professional level performance skills, and broader contextual analysis to navigate through their professional careers, so as to maximise their opportunities. Graduates from the Acting course will be articulate, skilled, contextually aware, professionally proficient and highly employable across a range of screen and stage acting contexts.
