About our modular part-time Year course 

It’s twelve 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 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 …

For 2012/13 we're offering three self-contained modules of eight weeks each.Students have the opportunity to join in October 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.
