ABOUT US
Our story
Our approach
The Bridge was established in 1993 by Judith
Pollard, Mark Akrill and other directors, actors,
choreographers and musicians who felt
strongly that drama courses were too often
prohibitively expensive. The aim was simple:
to make the highest level of actor training
accessible to all, to produce actors from a
mix of social and cultural backgrounds and,
by doing so, to enrich the theatre, radio, film
and television.
We do not see actors as machines, simply
producing what directors require of them.
Instead we give them an approach to
acting and a method that they can use
independently, and that they can extend
for themselves. We place the actor’s own
creativity at the centre of theatre training,
encouraging in them a strong sense of the
importance of a company and of theatre
as a collaborative process.
Initially, we offered a free advisory service
for those wishing to enter the profession and
courses that cut through the atmosphere
of elitism and privilege that existed in some
parts of the industry. In 1996, the current
Two Year Professional Acting Course and
One Year Postgraduate/Post Experience
Professional Acting Course were introduced
and The Bridge began to get noticed as a
company that turned out highly motivated
and creative actors who could be relied
on to deliver.
We are as keen on developing openness,
generosity and positivity in rehearsal
as we are on building self-reliance and
inventiveness. We want our students to be
receptive to very different kinds of theatre
and never to be dogmatic about ideas or
theories. We make great demands on those
whom we select and they deliver what we
ask and succeed because we believe in them.
In 2001, as the courses expanded, we moved
to Cecil Sharp House in Camden. This Grade
Two listed building remained our home for
10 years. As we continued to expand and
develop as a company we were in need
of our own premises and in June 2012 90
Kingsway, Tally Ho Corner in North Finchley
became the new home of The Bridge. Our
new building has ample rehearsal space,
including three sprung floored studios (one
with dance mirrors) and a green room for
students. This means that our training
can expand and we can provide a new
foundation course.
Our production venues include The Criterion,
Fortune, Ambassadors and Cockpit theatres.
Graduates from past years regularly return
to work with us, rehearse for auditions,
attend events and catch up with news.
Our history is, of course, still being written.
Come and be a part of it.

THE COURSES
We offer two full-time courses for a career
in professional acting and a part-time acting
foundation course. We also offer a variety
of short courses in many subject areas.
Two Year Professional
Acting Course
Intensive training for a professional acting
career. The minimum age is 18 and there
is no upper age limit.
Both courses include comprehensive
career guidance and a graduating season
of public productions in London theatres,
with a West End showcase at the Criterion
Theatre in front of agents, directors and
casting directors.
One Year Post Graduate/
Post Experience Professional
Acting Course
Training for a professional acting career
for those who already have a degree (not
necessarily in Drama) or for those who
have Drama or related experience. The
minimum age is 21 at the beginning of
the course and there is no upper age limit.
Postgraduate students condense their
studies into a shorter period and begin
individual programmes relating to their
specific needs in voice, movement and
auditioning at an early stage. Careerrelated studies are also brought forward
in this way to prepare you for entry into
the profession.
Attendance
Classes and rehearsals run from 9:15am
to 6:00pm, Monday to Friday and
rehearsals may extend into the evening.
Some weekend work will be necessary,
especially when there are forthcoming
productions. However, the company will
make sure you have the time to support
yourself by working outside college hours.
Entry Requirements
There are no formal entry requirements.
Entry is by audition, and you must not
only have acting ability but also the level
of commitment necessary to become
a professional actor.
The Year
Divided into three terms totalling
approximately 33 weeks from September
to July, with breaks for half-term, Christmas,
Easter and Summer.
Qualifications Awarded
Successful students are awarded the
Professional Acting Diploma and the

COURSE CONTENT
Whatever your natural strengths, a career
as a professional actor demands familiarity
with a range of disciplines. At The Bridge we
embrace the full spectrum of performance
skills enabling you to develop strong
technique and explore new areas.
Acting
Focuses on developing your imagination
and introduces methods that will enable
you to create a role and work with a group
in improvising, devising and using text. You
will explore a variety of acting styles, gain
an understanding of the rehearsal process
and acquire extensive performance skills.
Modern and Classical plays, scenes and
audition pieces are studied, rehearsed and
performed through group and one-to-one
teaching. For these classes all students
are given an individual programme of
work tailored to their particular needs.
Movement and Dance
Develops your physical expressiveness,
fitness and spatial awareness. You will
be introduced to stage movement, study
human and animal movement and work in
a variety of dance styles. Period movement
is studied in depth. No previous dance
experience is necessary.
Voice and Speech
Relaxation and breathing, projection and
clarity — you will learn how to use your
‘whole voice’ and to develop expressiveness,
power and subtlety. Classical text and verse
speaking are studied and you will work on
accents and dialects. You will also develop
a thorough understanding of how the
relationship with an audience is established.
Improvisation
A thorough introduction to this essential
skill, working with some of the leading
figures in the field.
Singing and Musical Theatre
Anyone who can speak can learn to sing
­— it is essential for the actor’s training
and hugely enjoyable. You will work on
performance skills and technique, musical
theatre styles are studied and a range
of musical skills are developed. You will
also receive individual singing tutorials.
Physical Theatre
A sense of play is at the heart of all good
acting. The drama of such diverse performers
as Steven Berkoff and Theatre de Complicite
is explored in work that is central to the
course. You must use your whole body
in performance and can learn to be highly
responsive to your fellow actors. Mime,
clown, Commedia dell’arte, melodrama
and mask can be included in this area.
Shakespeare and Classical Theatre
The initial emphasis is on workshops that
make the text more accessible, whatever your
level of experience. Improvisation, physical
techniques, paraphrase and acting games are
used. Detailed studies of the social, historical
and intellectual background of the plays
lead to exercises and final productions.
Text Analysis
How can we read actively and translate
what we read into dramatic action? These
sessions train our imagination in new ways.
Theatre History
You will be given a grounding in Theatre
History, but the emphasis is always a
practical one. This knowledge is central
to our professional lives.
Production
You will put into practice what you have
learned on the course in production and
production exercises. This is a chance to
gain confidence and experience and to
evaluate your own work. As the course
progresses, rehearsal time increases.
All students take part in professional
productions, and graduating students
present their final work to agents and
casting directors in a varied season of
productions and a West End showcase.
Theatre Studies
Students may cover a range of subjects,
including directing, educational theatre,
and the language of theatre. Students
can learn stage management skills.
Students may also opt to present their
own dramatic writing.
Auditions
A tailor-made repertoire of audition pieces
is essential for you to progress in your career.
Audition technique is studied throughout
each course and you will be prepared for
many different kinds of castings in theatre,
film, television and radio.
Professional Studies
Preparing you for entry to the profession,
Equity and Spotlight representatives, agents,
directors and casting directors are invited
to advise you on launching your career
and looking for work. The full spectrum of
practical matters is covered, from identifying
where your casting potential lies to dealing
with tax, and from CVs and photographs to
Equity membership.
Tutorials
An essential part of your training, in which
skills and techniques learned in class are
related to the work seen in a variety of
exciting productions in London theatres.
A chance to evaluate your own work and
get guidance on a range of course-related,
personal or financial matters. You will be
given regular feedback about your progress
on the course and support in planning your
future career.
Stage Combat
The Working Diary/ Log Book
Theatre Visits
Both armed and unarmed combat are
studied. A range of fighting styles is
explored and the work is integrated
into productions. Graduating students
will take the Academy of Performance
Combat Fight Performance Exam.
Television, film and radio
You will work with experienced actors
and directors on acting for camera and
for microphone. The technical demands
of each medium are examined in both
practical classes and projects.
You will record and discuss the work, as
well as evaluating your own progress.
Assessment
This is continuous and is based on
your progress in lessons, rehearsals and
productions. Assessments are both positive
and realistic. They let you know what you
have achieved and identify exactly what
you must do to develop further skills.

preparation
Life after graduation can be a daunting
prospect. That’s why we offer practical
support and professional opportunities
long after your course is over.
Career support
From your first day at The Bridge you will
begin to learn how the industry is organised
and how to make progress in it. We will
prepare you for auditions and castings,
and help you to build your confidence in
professional situations. You will establish
a repertoire of speeches and songs for
audition, and learn how to approach sight
reading in professional castings for theatre,
film and television.
You will soon start to understand the ins
and outs of casting and will receive detailed
guidance on your acting CV, cover letters
and professional photographs. You will be
equipped with all the knowledge you need
to launch your professional career — and,
more importantly, to sustain that career.
Your programme will include:
– Commercial
castings
– The role of
your agent
– Workshop
auditions
– Casting directors
– Recalls
– Contracts
– Readings
– Joining Equity
– Networking
– Goals and planning

– Use of websites
– Presentation
– Getting known
– Producers
– Researching your
prospective
employers
Being part of the company
The professional company
It is vital to remember that when you join
us you become a member of a professional
acting company. We are often involved in
mounting productions and working with
other professionals on a variety of projects.
This means you could be asked to appear in,
stage manage or help produce professional
work even before you complete your course.
Over the years we have directly employed
Bridge graduates in a variety of capacities.
For example, our professional company
staged ‘Fatale’ at The Bridewell Theatre
with a cast of fifteen, seven of whom we
had trained.
Once you’ve graduated from The Bridge, you
will still be very much a part of the company
and may find yourself coming back to work
for us as an actor, stage manager, director
or tutor so that you can share with our new
company members the knowledge you’ve
gained in the wider industry.
You may come back to meet up with fellow
company members in organised support
groups or just to drop in for a cup of tea and
to catch up with news. You will probably want
to see our new shows or attend events and
workshops that The Bridge or its associated
companies are organising.
We are committed to producing high-quality
theatre and to promoting the careers of those
who train with us. On successfully completing
your training you will be considered for
employment on productions and workshop
programmes with The Bridge’s professional
company. In addition, there are many other
professional companies made up of Bridge
graduates who have gone on to perform in
theatres across London and on national and
international tours.
After you have graduated from The Bridge
we will still be available for:
– Advice
– References
– Rehearsal and preparation for auditions
– Help with contracts
– Contacts with other industry professionals
– Career guidance
… all at no extra cost.

HOW TO APPLY
From affordability to auditions, this
section contains everything you need
to know about applying to The Bridge.
Fees and funding
We are committed to making it as easy as
possible for you to become an actor. As
a non-profit making educational charity
we charge only the basic cost of training,
with many services donated entirely free
of charge by the professional practitioners
who support The Bridge’s work and give
something back because they know how
much of a commitment you are making
to your training. Tuition fees are payable
in advance each term. For our current
fees, go to www.thebridge-ttc.org
Financial support
If you think it will be too expensive for
you to join our courses, you’re almost
certainly wrong. We can advise you about
this at audition and, if you’re offered a
place, we can help you to find the grants,
grant-making bodies, Professional and
Career Development Loans, charitable
trusts, awards or sponsorship that will
enable you to pay for your tuition and
support yourself while you train.
Professional and Career Development Loans
are commercial bank loans that can be used
to help pay for work-related learning. You
can borrow between £300 and £10,000
to help support the cost of up to two years
of learning (or three years if it includes one
year’s relevant unpaid practical work). The
Government will pay the interest on the loan
while you are learning and for one month
afterwards. You will then need to start
repaying the loan as you would any other
commercial loans product. The loan can
20
be used to pay course fees or other costs,
such as travel and living expenses. You can
also use the loan to supplement other forms
of support, such as grants or bursaries.
As the Professional and Career Development
Loan is a commercial loan product, you
should make sure you have investigated all
the funding options that may be open to
you, to ensure you take an informed decision
about whether the loan is right for you.

Auditions
ELISABETH ANGHARAD
The audition is held in a friendly and supportive
atmosphere and lasts from 10.00am – 5.00pm
with breaks, giving you the opportunity to work
with us. Our past students have told us how
much they enjoyed their audition day and how
valuable the experience was. There is always a
positive element to the outcome of the audition
­— either selection for the course or guidance
on other options that will be open to you.
Part 1 — Individual audition
We ask you to learn and perform two
speeches of 2­–3 minutes from published
plays. You should aim to show us contrasting
emotions in your speeches. Choose characters
you would like to play on stage and read
the whole play so that you can understand
the context and character you are playing.
Treat the audition as a rehearsal. Don’t feel
that you won’t be selected unless you give
a perfect performance. We are looking for
imagination and promise — not perfection
at this stage. Try to relax and enjoy your
time with us. Please bring copies of your
speeches with you to the audition.
(Note: you may perform speeches from
Shakespeare if you would like to, but there
is no automatic requirement to do so).
Part 2 — Group Workshop
Acting games, exercises and improvisations.
No preparation is necessary for this part of
the audition. Please wear loose, comfortable
clothing and trainers or flat shoes.
Part 3 — Interview
A chance for us to discover your interests
and talents and for you to ask us more
about the course.
