Part of the Grid: Practical Theatre Training Workshops

Founded in 2018, Part of the Grid is our programme of practical and affordable theatre training workshops, led by experienced instructors working in the field. Our workshops have been run at the Drayton Arms Theatre, Outside Edge Theatre Company, and online during the pandemic, when we reached over 1,000 people around the world. You can read about some of our past sessions in The Stage.

Following a successful Arts Council England bid, we are pleased to resume workshops in London and online.
