Diverse exercises and challenges with much laughter. I am amazed at how the group developed in two sundays. I will follow up with further courses having reflected on all that I gained on this well taught short course.

Lots of games that develop your performance ability. I was very comfortable with this particular tutor. The tutor was very approachable, provided good feedback, created secure learning atmosphere and made sure the class had lots of fun!

I was so nervous about doing this course. I had always wnated to act but had put my dreams aside as many of us do in order to raise and provide for my children. as time went by I lost all confidence in my ability to perform. Following being made redundant I decided to do something for me. I could not sleep the night before and was so nervous that I was shaking but [the tutor]came to my rescue and put me at ease. I realsied we were all feeling similar misgivings and relaxed. We had such fun and also learnt an amazing amount is a very short time. I am going on to do the introduction to acting but want to thank [the tutor] and ensure he knows how much he gave back to me over two Sundays ( I kind of feel whole again!) AND that it is his fault that I now want to, again, pursue my dream of a professional acting career. Thank you [the tutor] - You Are A Star!

The course was brilliant, very interactive, with loads of exercices followed by analyses. The teacher is brilliant, very approachable, very creative and created a brilliant atmosphere for the course. I learnt a lot in 2 days and I'm thinking of following up with the 12-week course! I highly recommend it!!!

We were told at the beginning of the course that we would not be able to get through it without at some point feeling stupid but I never did. The teaching is incredibly helpful and supportive. I found this course is perfect for someone like me with minimal acting experience.

A great course that introduces you to acting techniques. There's never a dull moment - you learn quickly while having a great time. The tutor is very professional and engaging. I've taken much away from this course - I now feel that I have basic acting techniques (from being an absolute beginner) and have much more confidence performing in front of others. You can bring the skills you learn into your own life - it's a fantastic way to spend your money! I definitely recommend taking this course.
