A two-year professional training
In the first year
A 700-hour immersive training in the first year, with around twenty hours of weekly practice - allowing students to live and breathe theatre every day while developing all facets of the actor’s craft.
Devised theatre led by professional directors or actors
Two major devised projects per year, each led by working directors and actors, culminating in a public presentation.

Project 1 - 120 hours

Project 2 - 120 hours
Each project is an artistic journey, exploring a theme (e.g. love), the work of a playwright or poet (Shakespeare, Kae Tempest…), or a specific discipline such as object work, puppetry, or performance art.
