PAATA1002 ACTING AND THEATRE PRACTICE 2

"This course is divided into two strands: Acting: Building on foundational skills begun in Semester 1, the focus of this course will be translating and applying these skills to the written text. Students will learn a variety of strategies for the actor¿s approach to working with written texts, beginning with a fundamental grounding in text analysis: how a text may be examined for relevant information; how this information can be ordered and translated into rehearsal strategies, and how it may be used in performance. Students may apply concepts such as: given circumstance, action\objective, character and situation to dramatic texts within the studio. Students will be expected to develop personal rehearsal strategies, to create from authentic connection, to increase awareness of personal performance habits, and to investigate improvisation as a practical rehearsal tool. Scene-work will be undertaken in class and may be the subject of studio presentation. Theatre Practice: Theatre Practice is the component of the course where students explore, in a practice-based way, how acting processes evolve into performance. Students will participate in performance projects that culminate in small studio-based showings of work. This essential performance component of the Course allows students to integrate skills from across the broad range of skills-based classes in the Acting Program. It also allows them to make 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.
