Course leader

Graeme Du Fresne MA (London Metropolitan), former Head of Music and Singing (BA Acting) at Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts, Musical Director and singing teacher (BA Acting) at Drama Centre, London.

Target group

Actors, directors and music theatre singers as well as writers/devisers. LEATSS is particularly suited to amateurs and younger professionals who wish to develop and improve their practical skills, knowledge, understanding and capabilities. Because the emphasis is on process and not product (how can we do it, not how well do we perform), we can encompass a wide range of age, experience and skill.
LEATSS is a school for adults and younger people from around 15-16 years old.

Course aim

Our aim is to enrich, nourish and nurture. To do this we provide expert professional tuition within a friendly and fully supportive environment. All tutors have a wide and impressive track record as professional theatre practitioners and teachers and our tutor-to-participant ratio is high.
