Our trainers are established, professional actors. All are very experienced in running acting courses and business training.

Our Philosophy:

Our main philosophy with all our training is to show every participant a good time. You should always enjoy what you're doing if you really want to learn something new and develop yourself.  Each time we run a course, it is always very different as the core of the work is created around the participants, so no one course is ever the same. The actors and act up do however have a structured outline for each course;  the environment is designed and then it's up to the participants to be brave and throw themselves in. No one has ever regretted the decision.

As we offer a variety of different courses, it is important for you, and us, that you enrol on the course that is best suited to your requirements.
