A BESPOKE PERFORMANCE TRAINING
PerformInternational is launching its Bespoke Performance Training in January 2016 with a first eight-week project. The aim of the training is to provide individuals who have started their training in the English language in other locations and in other forms with the opportunity to complete it. This may lead to a Goetheanum Diploma; participants may also choose to prepare for Trinity College London Performing Arts practical exams (www.trinitycollege.com) both at undergraduate and at graduate levels.
The training takes place in the UK in eight-week projects with approximately 24 hours of teaching per week. The individual projects take place twice a year, starting in January and August. Participants may join a project when their life circumstances allow this; there is no obligation to take part in consecutive projects.
Fields of practical work and research include speech, acting, gymnastics, eurythmy, music and anthroposophical study, as founded in Rudolf Steiner’s Speech and Drama course of lectures. Michael Chekhov’s acting technique is also part of the training. The PerformInternational training focuses on developing the performer by integrating the performing arts of speech, acting and music. Individual participants work within a small group at their own individual level of training and graduate when PerformInternational tutors consider that the criteria for graduation and for the Goetheanum diploma have been met. The detailed training programme is therefore an individual one and requires participants to be strongly self-motivated. The first eight-week project offers the opportunity for both participants and tutors to get to know each other in the work.
Once they have committed to the programme, participants are expected to continue their individual training when not working with PerformInternational tutors in the UK in their practice and in sessions with local teachers wherever this is possible. As an integral part of a professional training, opportunities will be set up for individuals to visit schools, therapeutic organisations and other places where different forms and aspects of professional anthroposophical speech and drama are practised.

PerformInternational has made every effort to keep tuition costs to a reasonable level: nevertheless a minimum number of participants is needed in order to run the training, and so a project may have to be cancelled at short notice. Some participants may be eligible for grants or loans; please contact for further information.
Once a completed application form has been received, interviews, either in person or on skype, may be arranged at times to suit applicants.
