The Lir Academy is a cultural hub in Dublin that offers courses in acting, directing, design, stage management and more. Founded by the Cathal Ryan Trust and associated with RADA, it trains students to the highest standards and hosts public events and performances.
The Lir Academy was founded by Danielle Ryan in 2011 in collaboration with Trinity College in response to its parent, Trinity College, discontinuing its acting course in 2007. [3] [4] [5] In May 2008, a recommendation was made from the Forum on Actor Training recommending the creation of a national academy of dramatic art to provide university accredited education. [6]
The Lir Academy offers three-year and one-year degrees and diplomas in acting and stage management and technical theatre. All courses are accredited by Trinity College Dublin and provide professional training and career opportunities.
