 Program Description

The BA (Honours) Directing course approaches directing as an essentially 'physical' activity requiring a strong sense of timing, visual awareness, and sense of the dynamic qualities of space and everything within it. The course aims to train student senses through the study of music and visual awareness and thus develop student director's ear and eye.
Students will also develop their empathy with the performer through their own performances to their peer group.

 Academic Focus of Program

Students will work closely with acting students in key disciplines and acting methodologies such as: Camera and microphone, Character analysis, Music, Voice and movement.
Students will undertake a series of directing projects, seminars and workshops and have an opportunity for collaboration with other members of the artistic team including musical directors and choreographers.

 Student Life

Each course at Central Saint Martins has dedicated accommodation, facilities and technical support. There are more than fifty workshops, including ten computer suites using Windows or Macintosh systems, and a centralized computing facility for large group teaching and student open access and has a color printing bureau. There are workshops for wood, metal and plastics; for pre-press and print production; for printing using silkscreen, lithographic, etching, letterpress and photographic processes; for weave, knit and garment making; and for glass, ceramics and plaster. Teaching takes place on three main sites: Charing Cross Road and Back Hill are within 10 minutes walk of Southampton Row, with some courses based in other, smaller buildings.

The Central Saint Martins library is situated on two sites. The Charing Cross Road site provides collections in fine art and fashion and the Southampton Row site supports the other disciplines, and contains the Slide Library. The Library has 186 study spaces, open-access computer facilities, photocopying and video viewing areas. It is supported by a web-based search and research facility which you can use off-site. You will also have full access to all the other London Institute libraries: 10 in total, with one of the world’s best collections of material on arts, design and communication.

The Lethaby Gallery and Cochrane Theater provide well established venues for exhibition and presentation of work by students, staff and alumni. The gallery is used for national and international exhibitions as well as for student work.


 Location & Housing

If students are offered a place at Central Saint Martins they can apply to live in one of the dorms or flats managed by University of the Arts London. While students can arrange accommodations through University of the Arts London from abroad, they cannot normally start looking for other accommodation until they arrive in London. Please note CSM College is not a campus university and if students are accepted into university accommodations they can expect to travel for up to 45 minutes to get to the teaching sites.
