Language lessons
Studying Shakespeare can be scary even for native speakers. Thankfully our company director Ben has a Bachelor’s of Arts in Germanic languages and will be leading 4 classes on Shakespeare’s language so that we can understand English grammar and allow foreign speakers of English to be able to read Shakespeare’s texts with ease.

“My daughter Lilley has taken part in the camps a few times already. We followed a casting sent to us by Ben, and we have been invited to the final round & our daughter may have the chance to play in a film – we are very excited about this. Thank you Ben for sending the link”
I can’t believe how much we did in one week. I’ve been on other courses for my acting training but this is the first time I’ve walked away feeling like I have the tools to start working professionally.
The fact that they invite industry professional agents to watch the end of week shows is testament to how much they care about seeing their students do well
