You will explore traditional and contemporary approaches to voice and text and study elements of 20th-century theatre to learn how to captivate and hold an audience.
You’ll study theatre history, acting, directing and performance leadership, culminating in a fully realised original devised production. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with your peers and make an impact on the Sunshine Coast with regular public performances throughout USC’s theatre season.
