Practical Training Philosophy

We train actors who like to work. And we do so in a challenging, yet safe and nurturing environment.

Actors are not interested in perpetually training. Set your goals and achieve them. Get to work. Now.

We train actors as if their life depends on their ability to deliver their talent on demand. Because in stage combat it does.  And your livelihood depends on your safety.

If you come on a foundation or pre-professional course with YoungBlood then the training is gentle and encouraging.

If you are pursuing a professional qualification with YoungBlood you will train hard. You will probably love it.

From the moment you come into the YoungBlood classroom we develop your potential as a professional collaborator. We want you to achieve beyond your own expectations. We train you so that one day we can go onstage with you and trust our safety to someone who is professionally trained and responsible. You.

We want you to push yourself, and that is why we push ourselves.
