What is a Classical Theatre Apprenticeship?

In the old days, the ‘apprentice’ learned alongside the ‘master’, not just being taught the skills of the trade, but being mentored, receiving increasing responsibility and hands-on experiential training in their craft. The theatre apprenticeship was considered a tough, but effective learning experience. From the Latin meaning to seize, grasp or cling to – the theatre apprenticeship is a very pro-active, vibrant and focussed programme. The apprenticeship model has been proven as one of the best and most effective ways of learning. 

The CORE Training Model

The CORE programmes are designed to provide a unique tuition model based on the classic theatre arts apprenticeship, developing trainees to reach their full potential through professional level training and personal study, and receiving opportunities to gain highly valuable, relevant experience in professional contexts. Classes are kept small to enable individual development.

A Unique Professional Training Experience

The trainees will be inspired, challenged and nurtured by the tutors. They will be encouraged to seek out opportunities, and press-in with full commitment at all times. The trainee will need to be self-disciplined, focused, flexible, able to work alone, as well as with a team and be fully dedicated to the professional learning process. Quality tuition and one-one mentoring serves to make the trainee fully aware of what is required for working as a professional within the performing arts industry.
