  • Each session is 3 hours long.

  • All workshops take place in Central London within easy walking distance of a tube station. These are usually in London Bridge or The City.

  • Our sessions have a maximum capacity of 10 Participants so everyone gets a good opportunity to work. However, there are additional spots available for Active Observers.

  • Each individual session is only £30 for a Participant and £15 for an Active Observer with no membership fees or long-term commitments.

  • Nope. There's nothing to prepare. All scenes are provided on the day and all the work happens in the room so there's no heavy prep!

  • ESSENTIALS is an open workshop that does not require you to apply. Here we tend to get into more acting fundamentals. Book ESSENTIALS here.

    ADVANCED workshops are for actors who've either completed conservatoire training at a drama school or have been working in the industry for some time. You are required to apply. Apply for ADVANCED here.

  • Participants passes allow you to come and work on scenes in the workshop with a scene partner and a facilitator. You'll share your work with the group and receive feedback and re-direction to challenge and excite you. You're in the room for the full 3 hours.

    Active Observer Passes allow you to come and observe the work being shared and actively be a part of the conversation and re-direction. An amazing learning opportunity if you're not ready to get up. Observers arrive an hour later to allow the participants to prep.

    NOTE: You have to apply to get access to ADVANCED Active Observer Passes. This is to ensure the language being used in the room is both professional and supportive.

  • First, we check in and get our brains in gear with a quick game. Then all the scenes for the day are blind cast.

    We rehearse with our scene partners and get the scenes off the page. We then share our work with each other and go through three rounds of our signature collaborative scene study method.

    We finish with some improv if we have the time.

    To see this in action without having to get up in front of the class, book an Active Observer Pass.

  • Absolutely. If you can’t make it to a class for any reason just give us 48-hours notice and we’ll either send you a refund, offer you class credit or a transfer. To read our full cancellation policy click here.
