For the June and August 2012 courses you can reserve accommodation with the school. It is clean and cheap and close-by.
The Four Day Course began in 2007 and we have seen over 1000 people. Some wanted to be actors, others wanted to spend a week in a different world. We have seen solicitors, pilots, train drivers, senior policemen, entrepreneurs, ex-footballers, models, TV presenters, housewives, stuntmen, businessmen.
The age range is teenage to sixties and the average is 34. No-one, consequently, cares about age. Most have little or no experience.
The course suits everyone and anyone willing to do a small amount of work and turn up on time looking awake. It is especially suitable for those who wish to be considered for the full time training and serves as a thorough audition for those who wish it to be.
The four days are usually Tuesday to Friday. Hours are 10.00am-5.00pm each day. Cost is £295. We run eight courses a year at regular intervals.
The course consists of a series of classes in the basics of an acting training; Voice, Movement, and Singing. You are given a short contemporary scene on your first day, and these are shown to colleagues and staff on the final afternoon. There are classes on Shakespeare, Stage Fighting, Jazz and Dialect.
There is no audition for these courses. Entrance is by enrolment. We cater for all level of fitness, including the disabled.
