We are The Actor Rebellion
Actor Training for Business is part of The Actor Rebellion. A revolutionary collective that wants to change things for the better and enhance people’s professional and personal lives through acting skills.
We live and breathe the arts because we see the life-changing impact it can have on everyday people, and society. We also recognise that the benefits of acting go far beyond the traditional stage. We offer a broad range of specialist actor training for adults. We open doors for adult actors and action performers, breaking down barriers and fearlessly fighting for their rights. And we bring captivating theatre experiences to unexpected stages.
That’s why we’re on a mission to share powerful acting skills with more people than ever.
We are directors, theatre makers, actors.
We've been shaping the careers of actors for more than two decades so we know just how powerful acting and communication techniques can be.
We’ve brought together our unrivalled expertise in voice and body language to deliver training that equips your team with the skills and confidence to deliver outstanding speeches and presentations to audiences big and small.
If you're willing to embrace the uncomfortable and explore the unknown, we're ready to help you reach your highest potential.
