Acting Q&A

Would you like to know more about training in acting at drama school? Are you considering applying to train with us in 2021?

This online Q&A with Artistic Director Jenny Stephens and Head of Acting Courses Paul Clarkson as well as some of our current students will allow you to find out more about drama school and specifically more about the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. They’ll tell you more about our BA in Professional Acting and you’ll have the chance to ask questions.

ⓘ In order to facilitate discussion, this event shall be limited to 30 participants and so a number of outreach eligibility criteria will be considered in order to attend this webinar.

You are not required to provide this to us, but, if you do, you will be consenting for us to use it for the following purposes: research projects and equalities monitoring (which may include relevant national research projects); managing any arrangements or adjustments that may be needed to help you participate fully in the event; assessing eligibility for this event.
