what's the course about? 

Playground is an opportunity to engage in creative play and explore acting skills with like-minded individuals under the guidance of experienced professionals.

what experience do I need? 

The Creative Playground is an Intermediate course designed for those who have some prior experience.  

The course attracts an eclectic range of students from professional actors, teachers and writers through to experienced amateur actors and relative newcomers who have completed an ACT Workshop or Summer School.
