Our tutor was an absolute dynamo, always sensitive in the acting/directing notes she gave us, but keen to push us to achieve more. She really went the extra mile, making me laugh heartily every week, and being unafraid to teach what we needed as a group. She skillfully took the emotional temperature of the class, noticing if there was ever a slight dip in energy, or any confusion over topics covered, and adapted her responses accordingly. This was one of the most enjoyable classes I have ever taken, and there was no one who did not grow over the course of the twelve weeks. If I could just keep studying, I'd turn up every week!

Such a great course! The teacher's so passionate and very dedicated to his teaching. It's been so much fun that I didn't get to realise how much I learnt from this course up until it's finished. I compare myself to the starting point and that's where I see how much I gained. The teacher will push your boundaries, and a bravery is always expected/essential if you wish to become a dedicated and hard-working actor. It has a lot of physical work, so be expected to get a lot of exercise in order to free/relax your body for any tension that holds back that great acting. Awesome course! Will NOT regret it, ever!

A fun course, with a variety of practical ways to approach performing. The teacher made everyone feel at ease, but gave useful feedback to each student. This is a good basis for starting in acting with exercises that could help towards more powerful speaking

I really enjoyed this course and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have fun, learn more about themselves and discover some of the most amazing characters ever written for drama. Our course tutor is very passionate about drama and has the rare ability to inspire the class, keeping up a very fast pace and very high stakes.
