Intensive
The PA+ Course is truly one of its kind in this area. A programme designed specifically for students aged 14+ who want to go on to further education in the performing arts. This course provides our students with the opportunity to double down their efforts, focusing on audition technique until it’s second nature by the time they’re applying and auditioning for theatre schools/universities.
With regular guest tutors from all of the leading UK theatre schools, students will be exposed to the people who are offering places at the top schools in the country. Schools that will be working with Swish Students currently include Arts Educational (Lucy Banfield) and Guildford School of Acting (Niall Bailey).
By demystifying the audition process for both student and parent, this course promises to lead to exciting opportunities for those individuals dedicated enough to apply themselves.
