AUGUST 16th-25th 

We're pleased to announce our Advanced Course in Drama taking place this summer. This course will provide a great opportunity for anyone aged 16 or over who wish to further their knowledge and skills of theatre practice: it is particularly suitable for those who are looking to apply to further education and Drama School.

This year, the course runs for nine days, from August 16th-25th and will be taught by experienced professionals, who will cover everything from improvisation and stage combat to audition techniques and movement in performance. Course tutors will include actor Timothy West, director Sophie Boyce Couzens, West End star Andy Reiss, and stage combat expert Keith Wallis amongst others, with content including acting technique, working with directors, voice craft, movement and musical theatre, as well as stage production. All participants will also have the experience of a professional photography headshot session and will take home their own professional digital image.

The course costs £250 and entry to the course is by audition. For details on how to apply, please download an audition pack using the link below or email [email protected]
