A proven route for adults who want to get good — not just have a go

If you want more than a one-off experience…
If you want to get better, not just busier…

The Core Acting Pathway is for you.

It’s a clear, practical route that builds your skills term by term — from total beginner to confident performer.
No fluff. No drama-school ego. Just structured progress.

The full pathway — in plain English

1. Acting for Beginners (8 weeks)
Start here. Learn the basics, grow your confidence, and find your feet. No experience needed.

2. Script Analysis (10 weeks)
Understand how actors break down a script — and how that unlocks better performance.

3. Finding the Truth (10 weeks)
Go deeper. Build emotional connection, honesty and character. This is where it starts to click.

4. Theatre Training Company (10 weeks)
Rehearse a full play, in a cast, with a director. Real scripts, real process, real progress.
This is where it all comes together.

How it works

• One course per term — 2 or 3 hours a week
• Take it at your pace — no pressure to rush
• You choose your path each term — no auditions, no gatekeeping
• You can repeat courses, pause the pathway, or mix in specialist options

Can I skip a stage?

Sometimes — if you’ve trained elsewhere or have strong experience.

But if you’re unsure, we’ll help you choose the course that stretches you — without throwing you in too deep.

Can I repeat a course?

Yes. In fact, many students repeat Finding the Truth and Theatre Training Company multiple times.

Why? Because each term is different: new material, new partners, new discoveries.

What if I want to mix things up?

You can.

While the Core Pathway is the backbone, you can take a break to explore:

• Acting for Camera
• Musical Theatre
• Acting for Sitcom
• Acting Shakespeare

These standalone courses help you stay fresh, explore new formats, and sharpen specific skills — while keeping the structure of your long-term development.

Who it’s for

• Beginners who want a clear route to follow
• Actors returning after time away
• Anyone serious about improving — without going full drama school

If you just want to try acting once, that’s fine.
But if you’re thinking longer-term, this is the route that gets you there.

The bottom line

The Core Acting Pathway is the quickest, clearest way to grow as a performer at MAD.

No fuss. No guesswork. Just a course-by-course journey that builds confidence, skill and stage presence — one term at a time.
