Program Overview

Program Description:

The Gaiety School of Acting–The National Theatre School of Ireland specializes in conservatory acting. This program appeals primarily to those students who are ready for the challenge of adapting to an entirely new academic culture that requires significant independent work.

The Gaiety School of Acting–The National Theater School of Ireland (GSA-NTSI) is Dublin’s premier acting school. The policy of GSA-NTSI is to train you for the theater, film, and television industries by providing you with conservatory-like professional training taught by local acting instructors. At the beginning of the term, you enroll in a three-week intensive IES Abroad theater course (TH352 Soundings from the Fringes) that combines performance workshops with the critical study of plays. This course, which takes place before GSA-NTSI courses begin, integrates your classroom work with Dublin’s annual Fringe Festival in September. After the festival, you fully enroll in a set of courses at GSA-NTSI. The academic experience at the GSA-NTSI is unique because you follow a set curriculum, which all first-year students at the school complete.

Founded in 1950, IES Abroad is a global, not-for-profit study abroad organization with 115+ academic programs in Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Latin America. To learn more about what we offer visit our website.

Setting Description:

Your journey begins in the cultural center (and the heart) of Ireland: Dublin.

And when you need to get away, you’ll discover outdoor adventures just a short train or bus ride away.
