Covid-19 Update

Diploma & Foundation

We have successfully transferred our current courses to an online format teaching primarily via Zoom. We have restructured the curriculum to embrace those elements that suit being delivered in this format and are working towards socially distanced practical classes and performances – streamed or otherwise in line with government recommendations.

We are now open for new applications:

Short online Zoom classes and courses from June - Zoom Short Course Programme.

Diploma and Foundation courses start in October - Zoom Audition Now.

The Diploma and Foundation courses will run for an initial 8-week term with our normal 12-week terms commencing in January. Obviously, we do not know yet what restrictions will still be in place at this time. However, we do know that we can successfully deliver the courses online if present restrictions remain. We are hopeful that many restrictions will be lifted by the autumn so are planning a mixture of online and socially distanced classes that will then move back to our usual format once restrictions are fully lifted.

The live performance element of the course is not possible at this time, but it is possible to study, share and explore much of the training in our present state and we will restructure the courses to accommodate the ‘live’ element once we are able.

The industry has been going through significant changes over the last few years with self-tapes (auditions/castings recorded by the actor at home and then sent in) starting to become the normal. Many Casting Directors, Directors and Agents were already conducting much of their work online and post Covid-19 it is likely that this will become the industry standard.

Geography will no longer be a barrier to opportunity and the acting community will be truly global. It is therefore vital that actors in training are at ease, familiar with, and able to work professionally in, this new digital age.

The Workshop

As it is not possible to know exactly when we will be able to run the workshop again we are opening up dates from the end of August and in the event that we are not able to run will move participants to the next set of workshop dates. We are suspending our policy of only being able to move workshop dates one time until the present situation is over.
