Easter, Summer and Sunday Workshops
Loughton Campus
This year we celebrate 20 YEARS of East 15's legendary Youth Theatre Workshops!!
About the workshops
East 15
Acting School's Easter, Summer and Sunday workshops have become firm favourites
with countless numbers of young people between the ages of 8 and 16 who are
interested in discovering more about the world of theatre. Some students have
developed their passion to such a degree that they have successfully auditioned
to join our undergraduate programmes and become full-time students at our hugely
respected
Acting
School.
Performing is something that almost every young person enjoys. As well as providing a professional training environment under the guidance of experienced staff, we hope that East 15 also provides another vital ingredient in our workshops. We make the learning fun!
Location;
The Hatfields
Campus in Loughton is an idyllic place to spend time developing skills. With a
tutor/pupil ratio of 10:1, students learn how to use their own intuition and
creativity, develop self awareness and confidence and their life skills, all
through performance. Using the same spaces in which we train our full time
Undergraduate and Postgraduate students, Youth Theatre Workshop students are
able to use our studios and The Corbett Theatre.
Successes: Truth, feeling and depth of character have been some of the core principles of East 15 for over 50 years. The combination of improvisational brilliance and classical technique together with the theories of Stanislavski, Darwin and Laban continue to be behind the success of East 15 graduates that include actors Alison Steadman (Gavin and Stacey)and Annette Badland (Dr Who), the Oscar nominated director Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours and The Reader). Recent graduate successes include roles onstage with the Royal Shakespeare Company and at the Nation Theatre, as well as film roles for Arsher Ali (Four Lions) and Reece Ritchie (Prince of Persia) and TV successes for Philip Hill-Pearson (Shameless) and Blake Harrison (The Inbetweeners). These, along with BBC Radio 4 dramas, TV commercials and stage productions of The Lion King, The History Boys and War Horse, to name just a few, all serve to show the enduring success of East 15 training.
Productions: All Easter and
Summer workshops culminate in a performance for parents and friends, with Sunday
workshop performances on the final Sunday. Technical support is provided by
East 15 undergraduates.
All our tutors are CRB checked by the police. Recreation assistants look after the younger age groups during breaks and all other groups are monitored.
