A programme of four courses. You can apply to one or more Young Actors courses.

Young Actors is a programme designed to stretch your abilities and widen your experience. There are four courses over two weeks, each costing £910.

Students can opt to do either one week or two. In week one, choose between Exploring Shakespeare or Stage Presence; and in week two, choose between Contemporary Text or Devising.

Maybe you are thinking of applying to drama school, or perhaps you have a more general interest in theatre and storytelling: either way, prepare to be challenged by spending a week gaining a taste of classes in a leading drama school. Under the guidance of RADA’s expert faculty, you will gain physical confidence, vocal assurance; and deepen your understanding of acting and playmaking.
