About Acting - Foundation (Stage & Screen), Cert HE - at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA)

Our course is aimed at people, who are passionate about a career as an actor but are not quite ready for a Conservatoire-level degree course. It's an opportunity to immerse yourself in rigorous actor training that will prepare you for auditions and accredited drama school degree-level training.

Intensive, highly practical and industry focused, the course enables you to develop your individuality and authenticity as an actor. It will equip you with essential storytelling and stylistic skills as you create a portfolio of contemporary, classical and digital material that is uniquely suited to you, helping you to stand out from the crowd. The course culminates in a performance project where you bring together all you have learnt.
