New Drama Training Programme for 15-19 year olds at Royal Welsh
College
14 October 2008
The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama has
recently launched the Young Actors Studio (YAS), a new element
to the College’s curriculum, dedicated to providing top-quality
training for young people aged 15 to 19.
Based on the success of the Royal Welsh College's Junior Music
and Access Studies department which has been providing top-level
music tuition to children, young people and adults for over ten
years, YAS promises to be a stimulating and rapidly expanding part
of the Royal Welsh College.
‘We’re very excited about this new venture, which offers
conservatoire-style acting training here at the Royal Welsh College
where we have produced some of the finest young stage, television
and film actors in Britain today,’ says Vice Principal (Events and
Enterprises), David Jackson. ‘We’re extremely proud of our Junior
Music Department and I’m confident that the Young Actors Studio
will be just as successful.’
As the National Conservatoire for Wales, the College is known
for providing the highest level of conservatoire training in Wales,
and is also considered one of the leading providers in the UK.
Young Actors Studio members will benefit from all the advantages a
leading conservatoire has to offer. Its students will have access
to the College’s highly specialist facilities and tuition will be
delivered by a team of distinguished and experienced professional
tutors who will also be on hand to offer careers guidance.
The Royal Welsh College ‘…really moulded me into a
professional.’ Kimberley Nixon

with Dame Judy Dench and has appeared several films including

The College has a reputation for ensuring its students enjoy a
very friendly, supportive and safe environment in which to develop
their performance skills, meet like-minded people and build up the
confidence to explore their talents to the full.
