West Acting Workshop
FOUNDED BY ITV,  the Workshop began it's life in 1985 offering weekly sessions training
the acting skills required to work in radio, TV,  theatre and film. It has gone from strength to 
strength since those humble beginnings and has made numerous documentaries and 
programmes for ITV starring workshop members,  put on hugely successful theatrical 
productions (that have toured the Czech Republic and America as well as a Shakespeare 
Festival in Canada) produced short films and entered them into film competitions (we
haven't won any yet - but that won't stop us!) and have had members cast in 
in everything from Skins to Harry Potter! Now, as the West Acting Workshop we intend to 
continue in this vein and keep those amazing experiences and opportunities available for
our members.

We even managed to persuade Oscar winner  Dame Emma Thompson to be our Patron and she
is incredibly supportive of what we do!

Our weekly sessions are fun and informal, but we take acting seriously and specialise in 
training Acting to Camera techniques (but don't worry, we tackle theatre too!)
We will teach you everything you need to know to hone your skills as an actor.
We are not here to make you famous, we are here to make you great at what you do - act!
