The National Theatre School of Ireland: J-Term Program

The National Theatre School of Ireland's Irish Theatre January Term explores acting and theatre through an in-depth and hands-on approach, focusing on your craft through the intensive study of Irish drama. The course explores a unique approach to learning that combines the development of literary understanding with an exploration of the craft of acting. Through our study abroad program, world-class professors enhance your academic experience and provide you with new perspectives both in and out of class. We pride ourselves on our commitment to the ensemble and early work focuses on establishing a strong sense of this ensemble as the basis out of which the work is explored. Improvisation is a key method we use in ensuring that the actor is alive, in the moment and spontaneous. Some classes are integrated with our Two Year Full Time Intensive Actor Training Programme.
The final evening is a showcase of selected scenes from the various plays studied.
