We believe that a good actor is one who is:
- Prepared for the reality of the business – the harsher aspects
as well as the rewards
- Able to work well as part
of a company
- Willing to try their hand
at anything; acting work comes in all forms and sizes and there is reward to be gained from every opportunity.
- Disciplined, focused and open to new ideas
- Generous, thoughtful and considerate
- Ready to work hard
- Ready to enjoy his or her self. They’re called plays, after all!
We teach that, even in this digital age, theatre has an important role in society. We train our actors to maintain
a healthy respect for the theatre as an equal partner, alongside television, film, radio and the internet.
Individual
attention for each of our students is key, therefore our class sizes are kept small.
We understand the pressure of being an actor in training. Making
oneself physically, emotionally and mental available can take its toll. This is why we provide a full student welfare programme
at no cost. Drop in sessions are held every week, as well as a full counselling service provided by Jo Condon (Advanced Diploma
in Integrative Counselling Level 4).
Acting is for everyone and our training
reflects this. We welcome students regardless of colour, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, religious affiliation, physical
ability or mental health issues.
We are currently seeking acreditation to the British Acreditation Council.
