the television workshop
We look for the individuality and magic in every young person that we train. The
Television Workshop train students between the ages of 7 and 21. “Workshop
doesn’t look precious but what you get from it is precious. Cherish it.” Vicky
McClure - Line of Duty / Trigger Point / This is England Who we are The
Television Workshop is a BAFTA award winning drama group and TV casting resource
with a strong focus on diversity and inclusion. Founded in 1983, and a
registered charity since 2012, the group has bases in both Nottingham and
Manchester. At the Television Workshop we look for the individuality in every
young person that we train. Our students are authentic. We don’t want you to
recognise a Television Workshop student because they are all the same. We want
you to know that they are hardworking, truthful in their performance and willing
to listen, learn and deliver. Over the years a number of our students have gone
on to great success in the industry. We have award winning actors, writers and
directors as well as editors and production crew. Many others go on to
successful careers outside of the industry, working in everything from
construction to medicine. We’re incredibly proud of all of them and they all
carry a little bit of Workshop magic into everything they do. As a charity, The
Television Workshop is able to keep fees affordable and offer places purely on
the basis of talent.
