Theatre teaching at ECP
Theatre teaching at the English College adapted during lockdown restrictions. The new focus was on increasing the quality of our student’s acting for the camera. Casting for Hollywood productions such as these happened remotely or in the brief window the campus was open at the end of 2020. A huge thanks to Myrnyx Tyrnyx Casting. The agency afforded us these wonderful opportunities and worked with us to develop our skills. We are immensely proud of how our students adjusted to these changes in the curriculum. It is great to see how many of them achieved the most impressive outcome of all: starring in a movie.
