LIPA is just like any professional company in the industry. Being a student here is remarkable, there is always a friendly face to be seen and many opportunities for everyone. I'm an actor and I have already made an album in the recording studio. It was a fantastic experience.

Programme Content

LIPA Foundation Diploma Acting

 We aim to help you become a more confident, rounded performer.

All three strands of the Performing Arts Foundation Certificate include elements of acting, singing and dance.

About 50% of your time will be spent concentrating on developing your specialist performing skill. You also have classes in the other two performing arts disciplines and core classes.
 

The core classes include Professional Studies, which explores the performing arts economy, Acting Through Song and Repertoire and two performance project modules where you apply the skills learned in all three performing arts disciplines with an emphasis on your specialisation. 


Teaching and Assessment

Our certificate course is taught over our full teaching year and is delivered via a combination of practical workshop-style classes and rehearsal sessions, with some lectures and seminars. This largely practical course is assessed through continual assessment of work in class, plus performances and written assignments.
