ed Learning Environment

To ensure a focused and personalised approach to training, we limit each cohort to a maximum of 12 students. This small class size facilitates close contact with faculty, visiting practitioners, and professional theatre companies. It's an enlightening and rewarding experience that often leads to lasting professional relationships.

The course runs from January to December, during which you'll work independently in the studios of The Monkey House. You'll explore the processes and methodologies introduced to you, gather the professional skills needed to enter the industry, and uncover your own artistic practice within a historical, sociopolitical, and international context. Seminars and workshops will cover topics from artistic development to production design and contemporary acting techniques, all aimed at helping you develop a sustainable and responsible arts practice that promotes longevity.
