How we teach
Our courses
Our one and two day courses range from introductory to advanced levels across the entertainment field: from storytelling to music, magic and mayhem!
We provide a safe space for interactive and fun learning, and encourage all learners to appreciate and embrace individuality as a strength.
Our training courses are mainly delivered in theatres and, where possible, we offer participants the chance to see an interpreted performance to complement the training.
Our workshops
Our workshops are dynamic, interactive and fun, with plenty of practical activities, discussion, observation and reflection.
We pride ourselves on providing a safe space for everyone to “have a go” and build skill and confidence with our professional guidance and support.
All courses can be logged with NRCPD as evidence of CPD.
Our trainers
Theatresign trainers Donna Ruane RSLI and Leigh Bish have a wealth of training experience (some 30+ years combined).
External trainers
Some of our courses draw on the expertise of external trainers. Previous trainers have included actors and creatives from the Royal Shakespeare Company and Propeller Theatre Company.
