Cutting Edge Actor Training In Bristol.

The Actors’ Workshop Bristol is a unique Centre of Excellence, which has offered cutting edge actor training for adults and teens for almost two decades.

 

Our hugely sucessful Foundation Course in Acting beats the odds, getting 90% of students into BA/MA Acting courses at accredited conservatoires year on year.

We offer continuing professional development for actors, teachers and the community through an extensive slate of

Masterclasses, Short Courses, Performances, Teacher CPD and schools’ outreach.

For students in Years 12 and 13, our Teen Access Course provides the core craft needed to take your training to the next level.

 At The Actors’ Workshop Bristol, we believe that Art is for Everyone, irrespective of race, age, education or economic background. As experienced professional actors, we know that each journey into acting – from inspiration to confidence, craft, connections and careers – is unique. Our mission is to make this journey accessible, to empower the individual and enable aspirations, whether these lead to a professional career or are simply transferable skills to enhance the community. We believe in the individual: promoting diversity and inclusion through generous scholarships and bursaries so that anyone with the talent and determination to succeed can access our courses.

Led by experienced industry professionals, our courses and classes inspire and empower your creative practice, giving you the craft needed to succeed at audition and beyond.

At the heart of our work is our Foundation Course in Acting, with it’s unrivalled record for getting 90% of students into BA/MA Acting courses at UK drama schools every year.
