What are Upskill Camps?

Experienced and inspirational theatre professionals who direct and teach across the Drama Schools & Conservatoires deliver sessions on audition technique and career planning, as well as the skills needed to become a theatre professional. Develop your skills, confidence and contacts, work on a brand new musical and build your audition repertoire.

Participants receive a Grade 6 Certificate in Musical Theatre, accredited by MX, the prestigious Mountview Exams.

Upskill Camps do not require an audition – so get booking as it’s first come, first served!
