[The students who sought representation were able to invite agents to the performance.

Foundations for the Future (one week course for young actors)
August 10th-14th

This course allowed each student to introduce themselves to difference ways of accessing character for performance and it also allowed those really interested in pursuing a career in acting to find out more about where to go from here and what to prepare for. As an extra bonus the students left the course with

• A folio photo shoot (one printed 10 by 8 printed photograph with the option of printing more)
• A worked plan for the future
• A performance at the end of the week
• A final report

This year we had a very talented group of young actors and both course tutors were very impressed with the development of all of them over the short span of a week. Please take a look at the photo's and video under Resources to see what they got up to.
