Self-Taping Intensive
An intensive weekend course for actors and drama school applicants.
Saturday/Sunday 11th & 12th July 2026 at our studio on Chatterton Street, Bristol BS1 6PR
A focused, industry-relevant weekend intensive designed to sharpen your screen acting skills and strengthen your self-tapes — whether you’re preparing for drama school auditions or building confidence for professional screen work.
This course, taught by industry professionals, is practical, supportive, and outcome-led. You’ll work on camera, receive clear direction, and leave with filmed material and tools you can immediately use for auditions.
No theory for theory’s sake.
No over-performance.
Just clear, usable screen technique.
