About the course

Revealing deep human truths in front of an audience is an act of courage, provocation, compassion, delight. It is a complex, passionate, and sophisticated act that requires rigorous training and education. The award-winning faculty of working professionals in the Department of Theatre and Film at the University of Winnipeg are preeminent in Manitoba for providing that kind of training.

　　Go to any theatre in Winnipeg, or watch any film or TV production shot in the province, and you?ll see the exceptional work of our acting graduates. For many of our acting students, what starts as an interest turns into a calling as they move through the challenging performance curriculum at the University of Winnipeg.

　　Our program of acting training emphasizes spontaneity, present-ness, and physical and vocal courage as well as discipline, technique, intellectual development, social context, and professionalism. We offer courses in acting technique, physical and vocal training, a vast range of performance styles, devising original theatrical creations, stage combat, and classical acting. For those who continue into the Honours Acting concentration, the rigour of the training intensifies and includes three public productions. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
