Testimonials

Great value for money. The sessions on casting technique and character building certainly helped me secure 2 roles last year.

This course gave me a much greater knowledge of acting and how to break in to the industry. Several teachers worked very closely with us and as a result of this course and the brilliant showcase I found my agent.

Since taking the LAW course I have enrolled on the MA in Theatre & Performance Studies course at Rose Bruford College of Performing Arts, been accepted onto Spotlight, am staging an exhibition on the work of Constantin Stanislavski at the National Theatre in April 2008, have been given roles in two films, a play and a pantomime, and in the latter won a South London Theatre Oscar.

What the LAW and its tutors do is give you the tools to work on skills you never had or things you are weak at. On top of that they offer you great information and resources about the industry because they are actually working in the industry now. I've learnt so much in 12 weeks and haven't hesitated to recommend the course to friends.
