FAQs

What equipment/space will I need?

The course is delivered through ZOOM. To get the most from the course we suggest using a laptop or desktop computer rather than a phone, and ensuring you have a stable Wi-Fi/Internet connection. You will need to join workshops from a suitable private space where you can participate and engage vocally and physically in the work.

Do I have to do every session?

Ideally yes, so you can get as much out of the course as possible. Please note that workshops are not filmed, so there won’t be an opportunity to re-watch missed sessions.

Do I have to audition to get on the course?

No, you do not need to audition for this course. 

Who is this course for?

These courses are designed for everyone in the process of applying for drama school, regardless of prior experience. They will provide introductory level training while also providing the opportunity for people with more experience to brush up on skills and solidify techniques and artistry.

Due to the intensive nature of our courses fluency in the English language is essential.
