Our 10th anniversary summer school was on #KingLear with Bill Alexander and Michael Corbidge leading the workshops

Photos, a video and feedback from our 2024 summer school held this year at The Playground Theatre, Latimer Road W10 from September 9 - 14

Feedback from participants on this year's course.

I don't feel I have any critical feedback that may be helpful to you.
What I do have is an openness within me, particularly in my pelvis, and a realisation that it is OK for me to step forward more..... because we're all learning.  I've just got less experience behind me than others. And I can feel reason! Get your head around that one! Exhilarating is the word. I've never had a week like it!  Never felt as comfortable being involved in anything you've organised as I did during these 6 days. Marilyn Homer

The summer school is my oxygen Mary. I am thankful to you and Naz for telling me about it. I am enjoying being part of the summer school each year. Chumki Mitra 

I thought Bill and Michael complemented each other perfectly, particularly having them in that order. Textual study, followed by some of Michael's incredible insights into some key speeches. It was a good idea of his to take stock at the end of each day to allow us to take notes on what we'd covered in each session (and to take breath too!)  You managed to get together some very accomplished participants, several of whom I'd not met before. And it became a very cohesive group. I hope many of them will be at Cagli next year. Simon Edginton

Thank you again for organising a truly inspiring week for us all. Bill & Michael were on top form and so it was a fantastic learning experience. Julia Holden.

Bill is very VERY good and I just loved the way he analyses each and every juncture of the play and then gets us to read, re read, act and re react! I have finally had the opportunity to attend a course run by Bill and I feel so exhilarated. Faisal Mohiuddin

Thank you for a fantastic 3 days with Bill Alexander. I loved Bill’s relaxed persona and the way he effortlessly guided the reading and visualisation of the scenes we worked on. He was so skilled at ensuring everyone had the same chance to read and participate. My dream is to have the same session in Italy next year!  David Choules

 What I especially like about Michael’s three days is we were on our feet most of the time. I really enjoy his physical approach to Shakespeare. Francis Cox

I truly feel so blessed! You have given me the confidence to go ahead with looking for an agent, and working towards the successful acting career I have always dreamed of, so thank you with all my heart!❤️
I am thoroughly looking forward to coming back next year, and joining you in your new theatre company ventures; I miss you already! Sacha Nitsche
