Part-Time Beginners Performance Course

Monday and Wednesday Evenings | October 2024 to June 2025

GSA Start is the ideal entry level course for people who are interested in embarking on their performance journey, but have little to no experience. 

This is a welcoming platform for adults of all ages to tap into their creativity and to learn the basics of Acting for Stage. We have created this space for people to explore the performer within, meet like-minded people, and develop new skills. 

Entry to this course is by interview only – the interview will consist of an informal discussion about your goals and your aspired development as an individual and a performer. 

The course takes place over three terms from October to June, with classes taking place two evenings a week on Mondays and Wednesdays. 

Each group will work with a specific tutor throughout the three terms, while guest tutors will teach skills workshops over the course of the year. *
