In conjunction with this, we organize and manage performances, housing them at significant Manchester venues, supporting you in promoting yourself to agents and casting directors by helping you build your promotional portfolio. We run classes for new and established actors, working actors, inexperienced actors, actors attempting to gain a drama school place and actors who have graduated from drama school and are pursuing professional work.
This includes:

- Finding and creating networking opportunities that enable you to forge links with people who can help you succeed
- Providing constructive and detailed feedback on your performance work with a view to helping you understand what your strengths and weaknesses are
- Working on your audition technique
- Organizing specialist training sessions with industry professionals in order to work on specific areas of technique, such as Voice and Movement

We believe in pushing you to achieve in a positive and constructive environment. Throughout your time with us, the focus will be on helping you to develop the mentality, attitude and aptitude to find and take advantage of the type of opportunities that will enable you to become a ‘jobbing’ actor.
