This is what one of recent Foundations student had to say about the course:

We’ve taken out the stress and confusion and created a course designed to teach you all you need to get started on your acting journey.

I had such an amazing experience at Fay’s foundations course, it was a really small class which meant we all got to know each other and got comfortable even though we were all nervous at the start. Fay’s teaching was so great, she really got inside all of our heads and broke down acting in a way I had never learned it before. I could not recommend enough even if you don’t want to be an actor! It’s a great way to get out of your comfort zone in a really comfortable safe space. Thank you so much for having me !
