PAATA1001 ACTING AND THEATRE PRACTICE 1

"This course is divided into two strands: Acting: The commencement of training grounds the emerging actor in activities designed to open the creative pathways of the developing artist. During this initial semester students will explore the foundational skills of the actor's craft by focussing on the basic elements of performance. Student actors will be taught techniques that explore personal connection with material in the studio setting. Some attention will also be given to developing practical strategies for negotiating rehearsals. Students will also be called upon to study the relation between rehearsal and performance. Theatre Practice: In the Theatre Practice component of the course students explore, in a practice-based way, how acting processes evolve into performance. Students will participate in a variety of projects that culminate in small studio-based showings of performance work. This performance component requires students to integrate acting, voice, dance and movement skills from skills-based classes in the Acting Program. It also encourages links between process-based work and performative outcomes. "

Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee

A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.

The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).   

2025 student contribution amount: $1,552


2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,329

* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways 

For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands, the student contribution amount is determined by the accredited course. Visit our CSP page for further information, including a list of accredited courses. Students not studying in an accredited course will pay the fees listed above.

Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
