Stage Performance Ensembles

Primary and secondary school students are invited to join one of The National Drama School’s new Stage Performance Ensembles and learn the craft of acting.

Over four school terms, passionate young actors and theatre makers will develop their skills and find their creative voice in a highly focussed environment led by expert industry professionals and teachers. 

First term sets the foundation for your ensemble with a focus on improvisation, movement and teamwork skills. After working with scripts, voice and character skills in term two, the third term culminates in a showcase performance in The National Theatre. In the final term, students work as a team to devise their own performance.
