STRUCTURE OF TRAINING

At the North West End Acting School, we believe in structure and technical learning. Acting is a craft so training and developing that craft is essential.

This is our entry level course to North West End Acting School (AH1 – Acting for Theatre & Film). You will be dipping your toes in the water with techniques and styles of acting that we believe are vital for your learning. You will finish the course with a tool box of techniques and approaches to acting. This course is suitable for people with little to no acting experience.

On completion you will then graduate to a follow on course (AH2 – Acting for Theatre & Film 2) This course will revisit the work you have done so far however you will delve deeper into the techniques and practitioners to gain a deeper understanding and sharpen your tools. You will also get the opportunity to share your work with an end of term performance. Once this course is complete you will be invited to graduate to AHPRO.

(AHPRO –Actors House Professionals) These classes are fast paced and strident with your work. Through quick script learning and guest tutors you will be pushed and tested to gather the momentum it takes to work in the industry. Although you will be focusing on the profession it doesn’t matter if acting is only a recreational game for you. The classes are inspiring, joyous and fascinating for all.

Your journey then continues…

On completion of these three main courses you will have an excellent grounding in the North West End Way of acting. You will be able to talk like actors, act like actors and behave like actors. BUT! it doesn’t stop there! All actors, no matter their ability can ALWAYS continue to learn.
