- Drama

- Production Arts (Backstage Skills)
Based at Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School, young musicians, singers, actors, designers, and stage managers can develop their creativity and access high-quality training with top practitioners and industry professionals, across a variety of styles and genres.
Performance opportunities are at the heart of Guildhall Young Artists King’s Cross, with music, drama and production arts students coming together to create innovative performances. These are staged at the centre and other arts venues. Visits from Guildhall School students and tutors gives students the opportunity to further develop their skills.
With no auditions or previous experience necessary, Guildhall Young Artists King's Cross is a great way to access Guildhall School’s world-class performing and production arts training, make friends and have lots of fun.
At Guildhall Young Artists we understand that committing to a new place with people you haven't met can feel daunting. This is why we offer a free taster session before joining – so if you don't want to come back afterwards, there is no obligation to do so. We usually find this takes the pressure off our students and allows them to relax and fully enjoy their first day with us.
Our free taster sessions also gives you a better feel for the classes that you would like to take part in, to meet our inspiring tutors and to help us design the very best timetable for your requirements.
Please visit our join page for full information, including how to book onto a taster session.
