The Technical Craft
Screen acting is as much a technical craft as a creative one. The Advanced Series is designed to start to give the awareness and knowledge you need to be aware of to work as a screen actor.

Taught by industry-leading film and television director The Advanced Series courses will give you the technical tools you need to be able to follow direction on set.
Once you’ve completed the advanced course your journey is just beginning.
