ARDENT RESOURCES
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
We’re closing the knowledge gap with free, accessible resources for early-career actors.
From video guides to downloadable training packs, we’re equipping creatives with the tools they need to thrive.
Our research into training gaps across England will shape a new generation of support — because where you train shouldn’t determine how far you go.
Actors on Acting: Rachel Summers, Sophie Ward, Corey Montague-Sholay, Sophie Cartman and Aiden Gillet.
RESOURCE FOR ACTORS
Just starting out as a professional actor? Then this resource is for you.
We’ve pulled together a collection of workshop notes, interviews, guidance and tips about working in Theatre. It is not intended as comprehensive advice or formal educational resource on which reliance should be placed; rather it collates various insights from people working in the industry that you can choose to incorporate into your own toolkit.
