Am I too old to start acting classes? 

Not at all. Our students range from their 20s to their 70s and beyond. Everyone comes with their own reason for joining—whether it's the start of a serious acting journey or something creative and sociable to explore.  

 

How many people are in each class? 

We keep our group sizes small, with a maximum of 14 students. This allows for individual attention and enough space for everyone to participate fully. 

​

Do I need to complete First Take before doing this course?

Take Two is designed as the natural next step after First Take, so if you’ve completed that course, you’re in the right place. If you haven’t trained with us before but have some acting experience, you may still be eligible—get in touch and we’ll advise. 

 

What kind of experience do I need to join Take Two?

You don’t need to be advanced, but this isn’t a beginner course. You should already be familiar with basic acting concepts like listening, making simple choices, and working with a scene partner. You’ll need to be open to taking creative risks and working without a script.

 

I’m feeling nervous about improvising. Is that normal? 

Completely. Many actors feel nervous before stepping into improvisation for the first time. The structure of the course is designed to guide you gradually into this kind of work, and we create a supportive space where you can challenge yourself without pressure. 

 

Will we use scripts in this course? 

Not often. Take Two focuses on unscripted work—learning to respond truthfully and instinctively in the moment. This prepares you for more advanced scene and camera work in Final Cut.

​

Is there any camera work involved? 

There may be occasional use of the camera to support your learning, but this is not a weekly feature. The main focus is on building your internal responsiveness and presence. Any camera work is for in-class use only, and will never be shown without your permission. 
 
How many people are in the class? 

We keep the group small, with a maximum of 14 students. This allows for individual attention and a focused working environment. 

 

What happens after Take Two? 

Many students apply for Final Cut, our six-month professional screen acting programme. Others continue with Green Room, our ongoing training space for actors at all levels. 

 

Can I join Take Two if I trained somewhere else? 

Yes, in some cases. If you’ve trained elsewhere and have a good grasp of the basics, we’d love to hear from you. We may ask for a short conversation or self-tape to check that Take Two is the right fit for your next step.
