ABOUT US

Italia Conti has always recognised that the industry demands excellent standards of training in all areas. Our aim has always been to develop courses to fulfil these goals.

Italia Conti’s reputation is renowned throughout the World and the request for the training it offers outstretches the commuting practicalities of just a London based centre.

 

Demand resulted in the opening of some part-time Associate Schools throughout the Country.

No audition is required as we wish to encourage participation in the arts for all abilities.

Classes are offered to students between 6 and 18+ years (plus 3-5 years at some locations). Whether it’s for recreation, physical and social development or as a serious step towards a long-term career in performing arts, the emphasis is on enjoyment and first class training.

 

Our new Associate School in Newcastle delivers excellent classes on Saturday mornings in Musical Theatre, Dance, Acting and Singing.
