Acting Courses
Edinburgh Acting School (EAS) provide an extensive programme of part-time courses in acting and related performance skills. It has given its many students the opportunity to learn and train in a professional and supportive environment.
Various courses that run throughout the year include our Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 Courses. We also run a Performance Course, our Speech and Drama Diploma, and an Actors' Gym. These courses are all designed to train and develop the students and on occasion put the training to the test with live public performances. Edinburgh Acting School is open to anyone who is ready to learn, immerse themselves in the training and trust and react to their fellow students and tutors.
