Get Scene 2024

Masterclasses will be delivered live one day per week, with two virtual / online sessions a week.

Once again we are working in partnership with Royal Central School of Speech & Drama.  Our experienced artist practitioners will lead a series of sessions to support young aspiring actors, including:

• Acting Shakespeare
• Preparing a Monologue
• Meisner Technique
• Casting Director Masterclass
• Drama School Self Tape Auditions for Covid-19
• Creating a Character
• Knowing your Casting
• Audition Technique for drama school and commercial
• Actor’s Mindset
• Professional Actor Q&A
• Professional Script Writer Q&A
• Monologue Workshop

Masterclasses are designed to support you to develop your craft working alongside a lead artist and other aspiring actors, and giving you tips for continuing your work at home.

Virtual sessions will demystify professional auditions, professional ways of working and drama school training. 

Face-to-face masterclasses will last for 1 day and take place in Central London.

The project will culminate in a week-long intensive rehearsal process and a public performance at Royal Central.

The rehearsal process will draw on Generation Arts’ innovative devising model to generate an original performance from participants’ work. The performance will include elements of scripted work, monologues and ensemble skills.

We know from experience that this week will be hard work, but incredibly rewarding.

Participants will be able to invite people to the performance.

Alongside masterclasses, our qualified staff will provide additional online next step and career support through 1-1’s and mentoring.

Pastoral support and help with managing your circumstances is also available.

We can help you to refine your goals and work out what your next steps into the industry could be.

We are partnered with all the major drama schools and have many connections into different networks which we can help you navigate.

Next Step support will happen online or via phone call throughout the project.

We can provide mentors and help you build lasting relationships within the industry.

Alongside masterclasses and next step support, Get Scene participants will be able to access our new online portal containing a bunch of free resources to support you to develop your career in the creative industries:

• a bank of monologues for you to use
• audition and CV guidance
• links to other companies and organisations
• masterclass videos
• tips and advice from industry professionals
• Q&A with past participants who’ve successfully graduated from drama school

This project is open to anyone who meets our usual eligibility criteria.

The project is suitable for young aspiring actors, or aspiring writers, directors and creatives. If you are aged 18-25 and aiming to move into this industry you will benefit from this project. You may want to get in to drama school or you may want to continue developing your craft as an artist.  You may already have a lot of experience in acting, or you may be a complete beginner.  

We work with a wide range of young people across London but we are interested in providing opportunities to those who otherwise would not be able to access training due to their financial or personal circumstances.
