THE FOUR DAY COURSE - COST: £295

THE POOR SCHOOL The first 4 Day Course happened in late 2007; since then we have run 18 courses and met nearly 700 people. Many of these aspired to act for a living and several have now completed two years here. Others simply wanted an experience different to their normal. We have seen solicitors, pilots, train drivers, senior policemen, entrepeneurs, ex-footballers, models, TV presenters, housewives, stuntmen, businessmen. You get the idea.

On any particular course the age range is usually teenage to sixties and the average is about 32. When the course starts no-one cares about age. Most have little or no experience.
THE POOR SCHOOL

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.

We dumb down nothing. You get the real thing.

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.

Dominic Cavendish, drama critic of the Daily Telegraph, attended this course in June 2010. Click here to see what he wrote.

THE POOR SCHOOL
What you get: a series of classes in Movement and Voice. This is the basis of an acting training and if you were here full time it's what you'd be doing every day. A series of Singing classes - you learn and choreograph a number from a musical and show it. You are given a short contemporary scene which you rehearse, learn and show on the final afternoon. There are two classes on Shakespeare and two on Stage Fighting, a Jazz class and some Dialect work.

UPCOMING DATES:
26th - 29th October;
23rd - 26th November;
25th - 28th January.
