Easter, Summer and Sunday Workshops

Loughton Campus

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!

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.

Truth, feeling and depth of character have been some of the core principles of East 15 for almost 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 actresses Alison Steadman and Annette Badland, the Oscar nominated director Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours and The Reader) and Coronation Street star Jenny Platt. Recent graduate successes include roles onstage with the Royal Shakespeare Company, in movies such as Miss Potter and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, BBC Radio 4 dramas, TV commercials and stage productions of The Lion King and The History Boys to name just a few.

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 students on the three-year BA Acting course.

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.
