We’re buzzing to announce that applications are now open for our next Winter Intensive & Showcase, happening this December 2025.
After two completely sold-out intensives, we’re inviting a brand new group of performers to join us for four unforgettable days of full-out rehearsals, creativity, and performance — all led by a West End creative team.
If you’re ready to train like a pro, perform in a professionally staged showcase, and work alongside other talented performers aged 16 and over, we’d love to see what you’ve got.
About the Intensive
Over four days, you’ll rehearse and perform a full musical theatre showcase under the direction of a London-based choreographer and musical director — both with real West End experience. You’ll learn choreography, stage vocals, and scenes from shows, and finish with a full performance in a professional theatre space.
