Zero experience necessary. Zero pressure. Proper acting training for complete beginners.

First Night Nerves is a six-week acting course for adults who've always thought, “I'd love to try that” but haven't quite known where to start.

This isn't 6 weeks of theatre games (as fun as they are!) You'll learn the foundations actors actually use: how to warm up, get out of your head, listen and respond truthfully, improvise, work with an objective, understand what's happening underneath a scene and make clear, specific choices as an actor.

We build everything step by step. There'll be no script thrown at you on night one and no expectation that you already know what you're doing. You'll start with practical exercises designed to get you comfortable in the room and gradually work towards rehearsing and performing your first proper scene.

You'll be challenged — that's part of it — but in a small, supportive and inclusive group where nobody gets lost in the crowd!

By the end of 6 weeks, you won't just have tried an acting class. You'll understand the basic craft of acting and have actually put it into practice.
