Dublin January Term - Acting: Intensive Conservatory Training

Program Overview

Dublin's lively theatre scene dates to the mid-17th century when plays were produced at Smock Alley Theatre, on the south bank of the River Liffey. This theatre has been redeveloped on its original site, with state-of-the-art performance spaces, and now serves as home to the Gaiety School of Acting - National Theatre School of Ireland, where you'll enroll.

Join Ireland's theatre tradition at Smock Alley and explore plays from ancient Greece to present-day Ireland. Your training investigates the theatrical elements of space, the body, language, and the dramatic text to support your development in the craft of performance.
