About our modular part-time Year course 

It’s eleven years since Scott Williams began our part time First Year course – and ten since we launched the part time Second Year rehearsal and performance course.

Both have been extraordinarily successful. Hundreds of actors have benefitted from the consistency and depth that can only be achieved through regular commitment.

But every year, some to whom we’ve offered places have been unable to commit because a year seems like just too much – and others have, with reluctance always, dropped out because they’ve been offered jobs. We’re sorry to see them go but happy for them. After all, putting what you’ve learned into practice is what training is for!

So here’s our current offer. 

It’s a modular course which delivers everything First Year students have experienced – but which allows you to ‘sign up’ for one, two or all three modules according to your circumstances and to pick up where you’ve left off if your circumstances change. 

Here’s how it works …

We offer three self-contained modules of eleven weeks each.Students have the opportunity to join in September and January each year.

Module 1 – Living Truthfully

Module 2 – The Given Set of Circumstances

Module 3 – A State of Aliveness

Living Truthfully covers our basic, Meisner-rooted Technique, giving you a deep and experiential grounding in its analysis and exercises, focusing on those which bring you into 'the moment.'

The Given Set of Circumstances takes the Technique forward into work with 'the givens' of performance, including investing in the realities of doing at the heart of any actor's work.

A State of Aliveness takes your work into text, from the first Reading and text analysis, through to rehearsal techniques, culminating in a performance of scenes for an invited audience.

Where do you begin?

Most students will begin with Module 1, Living Truthfully. 

Students who have already have a body of experience within the Technique may choose to begin with either Module 2 – The Given Set of Circumstances – or Module 3 – A State of Aliveness, using it as a showcase opportunity.

If you wish to enter at Module 2 or 3, please contact Lindsay on Lindsay@impulsecompany.co.uk or 07525 264173.

How do you apply?

If you’re new to Impulse, get in touch with Lindsay and she’ll fix you up with an informal interview with Scott. She’ll also email you a questionnaire which you should complete and take with you to your interview.

If you’re an Impulse practitioner or an alumnus of the First Year programme, acceptance is automatic as long as there is a place available. Just get in touch with Lindsay and she’ll take you through the process.
