Advanced Acting Classes

Scene Study for Stage and Screen

Scene Study is an advanced acting class in Manchester built around practical, up-on-your-feet training. Actors rehearse and perform scenes, receive professional direction and apply feedback immediately—the closest training experience to working on stage or screen, and how professionals develop once the fundamentals are in place.

Open to actors with drama school training, professional experience or substantial part-time training. We ask newer and less experienced actors to begin with our other Manchester acting classes before being invited to join Scene Study.
