Actors trained by Collective in the last three years have gone on to work in Hollywood films, on Broadway, for the National Theatre, in the West End and in series for Netflix, HBO, BBC, ITV and Channel 4.

We are passionate about working with actors from underrepresented groups and we will always seek to break down barriers to access in professional actor-training. Scholarships are available for those who are facing challenging circumstances.

Testimonials:

'I was working in the West End before I graduated and I genuinely felt more prepared and ready to utilise my skills having been trained by staff from Collective. I was able to pick up a script and know instantly what to do and how to navigate it. I felt strong and confident with my actor's process and knew exactly how to tackle the industry as an actor and an artist. I have Paul to thank for that.'

Louis Sparks, Actor - Masters of the Air (produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks)

'The staff from Collective genuinely care for the well-being of all of their students, they want to see you win! They're driven to give actors from underrepresented backgrounds a voice and that’s what we need more of in our industry. So if you’re an actor, a performer, a creative who wants to create their own work and give a voice to the voiceless, joining the Collective is the best thing you could do for yourself.'

Seyan Sarvan, Actor - Channel 4's It's A Sin

'It’s only until you’ve had a chance to see what else is out there, both professionally and academically, it becomes very clear that your learning with Collective is special and there’s no other place to train like this.'

Segun Fawole, Actor - West End productions of A Chorus Line and Motown

'It's impossible to list all the things I've learnt from Paul because there are just too many! Paul not only teaches students to be actors, but theatre-makers, professionals – brilliant humans with ideas and dreams and fires in their bellies.'

Phoebe Rhodes, Director - Young Vic Creators Program
