Intro text

Our practical Drama Course for those aged 11–18 teaches acting skills through inspiring weekly practical classes as well as offering regular performance opportunities and a space for young people to develop their own creative practice and projects.

Using a wide range of text based, non-text and improvised approaches, Drama Course classes include vocal and movement exercises, relaxation techniques, improvisation, devising and script work with regular opportunities for performance, including independent and interdisciplinary projects.

Drama Course members also have the option to join Musical Theatre singing and acting classes each week and can book individual performance coaching sessions and independent rehearsal/project time.

Beginner to advanced performers are welcome.  Classes are tailored to individuals and are suitable for those who are thinking about taking their drama and performance studies a step further, or those who simply want to spend time exploring their creativity with newfound and likeminded friends.

Classes and Ensembles

You will be given a tailor-made timetable before your start date, which will be based on your interests and experience. This will be updated as you progress and develop your interests. 

Classes are offered in the following:

"To have been awarded the Leverhulme bursary (by Guildhall School), has assisted me to no end in my musical career. The opportunities it opened has led me on a diverse musical journey... none of which would have been possible without the support of this bursary, which I truly believe has shaped my path as a musician and composer, and pushed me to achieve the highest level I can.”
