Overview

The Acting programme from Guildhall School of Music & Drama is constantly evolving to meet the demands of the 21st century, whilst maintaining a deep commitment to craft training.We believe strongly in the power of the ensemble, with individual actors working together in a coordinated and complementary way, each contributing to a powerful shared outcome. We work in a collaborative atmosphere and encourage actors to connect with each other, society and the wider world.We aim to develop actors who are tenacious and versatile, able to move with confidence between stage, screen, digital and audio platforms and classical, contemporary and experimental repertoire. There is a generous staff-student ratio and a high number of teaching hours.

After training

Guildhall Acting graduates can be seen in a wide variety of roles across film, TV and theatre. Many alumni go on to use their training in other fields such as education, social care, law and design.. Find out more about out Acting alumni.

The Drama Department supports ongoing training by offering a range of alumni initiatives such as the Alumni Gym and a programme of responsive initiatives, such as play commissions, in association with the Innovation Department.

During the programme, you will work with a diverse range of teachers and guest practitioners, all with working knowledge of the industry, exploring a broad range of practices and repertoire.All practitioners are chosen for their particular experience and practice, but we work as a committed team with a common purpose. Together, we work alongside you as an individual (and in groups and productions) to help define, develop and articulate the practices which are most useful to you.
