Training
Shakespeare Course, Chesters, Scotland, June 2008
We specialise in techniques created by Sanford Meisner. The training fully develops your emotional depth and spontaneity, and the range of your imagination. It provides you with a toolkit which is applicable across the full variety of roles and genres which you will encounter in your career.
Introduction Week
This is the first port of call for anyone interested in our full training and becoming a member of our company.
Full Training
We offer a complete training based on the Meisner technique which is highly suitable for professional actors and complete beginners alike, whether drama school trained or not.
Continuation Training
Acting is a never ending search, a true art form and arguably the most complex and challenging of all the art forms. The full training is only the beginning of this journey and it’s the constant exploration over years and years of practice that defines the true actor.
