Hear from our students and tutors...

A collection of our fantastic students and tutors told us why they love acting. 

"It’s really healthy to laugh at yourself. To be a clown is to be a beautiful idiot and to take away all the masks we put on ourselves to get through life, it's about getting to the core of what makes us individual and beautiful."
