Being Part Of The Company

  • Being Part Of The Company

“The Bridge is a place for hope and dreams to become reality and we will take that company spirit with us wherever we go.”

 

It is vital to remember that when you join us you become a member of a professional acting company. We are often involved in mounting productions and working with other professionals on a variety of projects. This means you could be asked to appear in, stage manage or help produce professional work even before you complete your course.

Once you’ve graduated from The Bridge, you will still be very much a part of the company and may find yourself coming back to work for us as an actor, stage manager, director or tutor so that you can share with our new company members the knowledge you’ve gained in the wider industry.

PROFESSIONAL STUDIES

 

From your first day at The Bridge you will begin to learn how the industry is organised and how to make progress in it. We will prepare you for auditions and castings and help you to build your confidence in professional situations.

You will establish a repertoire of speeches and songs for audition and learn how to approach sight-reading in professional castings for theatre, film, and television. You will soon start to understand the ins and outs of casting and will receive detailed guidance on your acting CV, cover letters and professional photographs.

You will be equipped with all the knowledge you need to launch your professional career and, more importantly, to sustain that career.

Your full programme will include:

  • Commercial castings
  • Workshop auditions
  • Recalls
  • Readings
  • Self-taping
  • Networking
  • Goals and planning
  • Singing auditions
  • Showreel
  • Presentation
  • Researching your prospective employers
  • The role of your agent
  • Casting directors
  • Producers
  • Contracts
  • Joining Equity
  • Spotlight membership
  • Use of websites
  • Getting known

 

ONCE YOU’VE GRADUATED

 

Life after graduation can be a daunting prospect. That’s why we offer practical support and professional opportunities long after your course is over. You will probably want to see our new shows or catch up with fellow company members and we will still be available for

  • Advice
  • References
  • Rehearsal and preparation for auditions
  • Help with contracts
  • Contacts with other industry professionals
  • Career guidance

… all at no extra cost.

 

Professional Opportunities with The Bridge

The Bridge is committed to providing its graduates with professional opportunities. Our recent professional production of Waiting for Hate Mail, which featured six Bridge graduates, exemplified this commitment. By involving graduates in significant professional projects, The Bridge not only showcases their skills, but also fosters a professional network. This approach allows emerging talent to gain invaluable experience and exposure. Waiting for Hate Mail serves as a testament to The Bridge’s dedication to nurturing its alumni and received three five-star reviews from it’s recent run at Seven Dials Playhouse.

“I loved Waiting for Hate Mail. It was a roller coaster and I enjoyed every bit of the ride! Beautifully written and beautifully performed.” — C.A.P 
 
“Morrison-Baker holds the audience and takes him with us over the whole 90 minutes of this fascinating one man play. He is a wonderful actor – charismatic and inventive throughout.” – The New Arts Journal
 
“We had a wonderful time at Waiting for Hate Mail. I thought Nick Morrison Baker was wonderful, a superb performer! The play was innovative, inspiring and thought-provoking.” – The Actors File 
 
“Nick did you proud – outstanding performance. I loved the way the poetry was blended seamlessly into the narrative and the wide-ranging stream of consciousness of that narrative.” – Claire Evans 
 
“Nick Morrison-Baker gives a no holds barred performance.” – Willam Russell, Reviewsgate
 
“Mark treads in the footsteps of all those iconic artists before him who have transformed pain and ugliness into a remarkable piece of art. This is a devastating, tornado of a performance.” – Luke Stevenson
 
“Mark Akrill’s Waiting for Hate Mail is a pure gem of a piece. It is not to be missed.” – DLC Reviews

“I had an absolutely fantastic time at the Bridge. There was so much warmth and care. It was a big family but at the same time I felt really valued as an individual and that my development as an actor really mattered. The teaching was excellent and I learnt SO much. My time at the Bridge was totally transformational and amazing”
