This dynamic and intensive course takes place across four terms in a full calendar year.

You will be taught in group classes, developing your professionalism, collaboration and technical skill through ensemble learning and individual tutorials.
We expect you to be bold and fearless in your willingness to understand yourself and be prepared to be open and curious whilst experimenting with new methods of working. Throughout your training you will have opportunities to collaborate with leading directors, writers and producers.
The year culminates in London where you will perform in London venues to the public and to an invited industry audience. On completion of the course, you will be awarded Equity membership.

Wiltshire Creative is proud to partner with Separate Doors on a UK-wide initiative to increase the representation of people with learning disabilities in theatre, film and TV. The project is rooted in the belief that great narrative theatre for general audiences should include and reflect everyone.
This project champions the Silent Approach – a non-verbal rehearsal method that enables vocational actors and creatives who use language differently to work together on equal terms, in the same spaces and in front of the same audiences as everyone else.
Salisbury Playhouse is a key partner in the Making Tomorrow's Theatre project. As part of our commitment to featuring more learning-disabled talent in mainstream programming, we are working alongside Separate Doors in the development of their new play, Hope Valley Hotel, and on Wednesday 16 July will offer a first glimpse of this exciting production.
The event will include a Silent Approach learning package for theatre professionals, alongside a preview of the play’s music and movement. A full creative team will be joined by national ensemble actors, including acclaimed learning-disabled performers Joe Sproulle and Meghan Denton.
On registration, attendees will be asked to select from a range of workshops taking place in the afternoon. Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis, so please arrive early to secure your preferred option.
Date: Wednesday 16 July
