SAVVY occasionally has special days with visiting practitioners holding masterclasses in a variety of theatrical techniques.

These classes are usually associated with the term's work.

Want To Join?
Because SAVVY is dedicated to quality personal tuition the group has no more than 15 participants at any one time.

There is no audition process, although if places are tight, students will be placed on a waiting list.

The cost for the 10week term is £50.00. This is due in full on the first day of term, or may be paid in two instalments. New members are able to try-out 2weeks for free.
