Students will attend over 300 guided learning hours with the DAS team, receiving practical and theoretical performance training.

The Durban Actors Studio believes in laying strong foundations for performers who are considering a career in the arts sector. The Acting Intensive programme is based in practical skills development and hands-on practice to consolidate theory work.

“In addition to the exam track training, we will host speakers and lecturers who are working industry professionals to give insight on their field of expertise such as arts administration, budgeting, funding, branding and management of the artist,” says Gill Bruning, Durban Actors Studio - Director

Training takes place at Durban Actors Studio Tuesdays and Thursdays, 09h30 through to 15h30, February to November, with breaks for the usual academic holidays. Students will be expected to put in the required self-guided learning hours for research and rehearsal.

“We are commencing our 2019 programme interviews this week and will close applications as soon as we reach our max student allocation, which is only 10 students. The programme costs R37,200 per year, which can be paid annually, per semester or per term – payment terms will be discussed and agreed to during our interview,” adds Bruning.
