Performance training in Cardiff

The Workshop offers performance training to people of all ages, through regular introductory courses. These run throughout the year and are held at The Workshop's studio space in the centre of Cardiff.

Each course consists of ten practical sessions and requires a weekly commitment of one weekday evening. For adults, there is an intensive weekend course option.

After the ten week course, a selection process takes place and students, if successful, are invited to join The Workshop. This does not apply to the intensive weekend course.

Training in performance skills in drama

Our training is designed to produce the performance skills required for work in film and television. We concentrate on developing each student's acting technique, specifically for dramas.

At the same time, many of the skills learnt can be applied to other areas of media work, such as presentation and interview technique.
