  • The new MFA Linklater Teaching Practice (Voice and Theatre Arts) is a unique practice- based Masters Degree centred in Kristin Linklater’s methodology. Linklater was a world-leading expert in vocal technique for actors and performers of all disciplines. The Linklater voice methodology underpins all voice training at ALRA, which is internationally recognised as one of the most innovative centres for actor training.

    The MFA is rooted in Linklater’s approach to voice as fundamental to a whole system for actor training. A second emphasis in the two-year programme is Applied Theatre Arts, as developed by Augusto Boal through his ‘Theatre of the Oppressed’.

    The MFA is a reimagined, pioneering training for Actor-Teachers

    ALRA believe that the highest purpose of theatre is to shed light on the lives we lead and to shift perception towards potential transformation. 

     

    Who is this for?

    This training programme takes into consideration the changing world of the performing arts industry and traditional actor training. We recognise that many trained actors from conventional conservatory programmes wish to continue their training and develop their skills further. This MFA bridges the skill gap and will enable graduates to enter new creative roles with confidence and authority.

     

    Why is this training needed? 

    When actors create projects with community groups or begin to lead classes in a drama school setting, they often lack the specific skills and ethical preparation to engage effectively with groups.

    Combining the Linklater approach with the Applied Theatre Arts methodology of Augusto Boal, movement work developed by Trish Arnold, and the acting techniques of Michael Chekhov, this MFA programme will equip graduates with the skills to develop the capacities of multiple communities to express complex social and political needs and find their voices both metaphorically and physically. 

    As global culture shifts there is a growing need for professionals who can lead artistic projects, to facilitate groups from a multitude of experiences and beliefs to successfully communicate.

     

    What will the training experience be? 

    The ALRA MFA Linklater Teaching Practice (Voice and Theatre Arts) represents a shift in emphasis in Actor Training by making voice the foundation of the training.

    Year 1 

    Within the first year, students will be immersed in holistic actor training that rebalances the hierarchy of voice, movement and acting. Linklater’s work is at the heart of the training, supported and complemented by Trish Arnold’s body work, known as ‘Pure Movement.’

    Building on the foundation of free voices and bodies, acting classes will be based in Michael Chekhov’s psycho-physical techniques.

    Mid-Programme Attachment 

    In the months between study, that bridge the end of the taught portion of year one and start of year two, students will, in concert with the core faculty, organise a professional attachment with a Designated Linklater Teacher, and another with an Applied Theatre Practitioner or other organisation engaged in social or educational activism.

    Year 2 

    Candidates will enter into a focused study and practice stream to prepare them for the specialised qualification of Designated Linklater Teacher. Opportunities to deliver Linklater methodology will involve collaboration with their peers, as well as other teaching opportunities. A particular emphasis will be placed on the process of pedagogic practice, and the personal and vocal discoveries made in this specialised learning environment.

    Students will continue their focus on the Linklater methodology throughout Year Two, with opportunities to work within the community, with other ALRA students, and with their peers.

    In addition, all students will develop a collaborative final performance project to be presented at the end of the programme. This project will demonstrate an understanding of the pedagogical practice, and its artistic value. 

     

    Teaching Pattern and Methods 

    The programme is delivered over two years through a series of modules that consist of workshops, seminars and tutorials.

    The core disciplines of Voice, Movement and Acting are included weekly.

    Year One:
    A typical day will involve practical training in these disciplines from 9.00am to 6.00pm. Near the end of Year One, the training will focus on Augusto Boal’s ‘Theatre of the Oppressed’ methodology, during which students will be guided in the first steps towards community engagement and Applied Theatre Arts.

    During Year One, learners will travel to Orkney for a two-week residency at the Kristin Linklater Voice Centre

     

    Schedule: 

    From June of Year One through December, students will engage in a self-directed practical application of their learning. This will include a minimum of 50 hours attachment to their chosen mentoring Designated Linklater Teacher as well as a 50 hour placement with an organisation employing Applied Theatre Arts.

    Year Two:
    A typical day will again run from 9:00am to 6:00pm. 

    The programme will be delivered over a five-day week. In addition to continued practical training, the programme will include lectures in physiology, psychology and neuroscience. Students will learn about the business of teaching, entrepreneurship, and leading through creativity.

    Students will additionally work with members of a community group, ALRA students or invited participants.

    As part of their preparation for Designation as a Linklater Voice Teacher, students will teach the progression to interested communities. These sessions will be observed and critiqued by peers and Senior Designated Linklater Teachers.

    ALRA defines a community as a group of people who share a common experience, value system or defined cultural heritage.

    At the end of the taught element of Year Two, a Designated Linklater Teacher of senior standing will work intensively with the cohort, culminating in Designation for qualified candidates.

    This placement is undertaken during the seven months between the taught portions of Years One and Two. Students will engage in two separate Creative Attachments:

    Specialised paths include:

    • MFA candidates will individually observe 50 hours of teaching by a senior DLT, meeting with them for regularly scheduled tutorials.
    • They will also intern with a practising company or organisation engaged in social or educational activism to further their practical understanding of Applied Theatre principles

    Following these residencies, all students will present two practise-based papers. One will explicate a specific learning journey (individual or group) the student has noted in the voice students they observed, and the other will articulate their observations of how individuals were impacted by the social or educational activism they were a part of.

    This module is self-directed and can take place in the location of the student’s choice.

    Assessment will be based on demonstration of artistic and pedagogical ability, in addition to the fulfilment of the above requirements.
