Bodens College of Performing Arts

Combined with their passion for the performing arts, ensures that our students receive the highest quality training. Our tutors include industry professionals, experienced actors, directors, vocal coaches, and choreographers who have worked extensively in theatre, film, and television.

At Bodens College of Performing Arts, we believe in providing young people with a head start in the competitive performing arts industry. Our fully funded sixth form and foundation training programmes are designed to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and experience needed to pursue a successful career in the performing arts.

Located in the heart of Islington, our creative home offers a vibrant and supportive environment for our students to learn and grow. We understand the importance of practical experience, and our courses include a combination of classroom instruction, practical workshops, rehearsals, and performances.

Our graduates have gone on to continue their training at some top drama schools across the UK, including RADA, Mountview, Royal Central School of Speech & Drama, LAMDA, and more. We are proud of the achievements of our students and the success they have found in the industry.

We offer a range of courses to suit different interests and aspirations. Our two-year musical theatre course, accredited by Pearson, is designed for students aged 16-18 who want to pursue a career in musical theatre. Our two-year acting course, also accredited by Pearson, focuses on the development of acting skills and techniques. For those aged 18 and above, we offer a one-year foundation course where students can specialise in either acting or musical theatre.

Bodens College of Performing Arts is a fully accredited institution, and our courses are delivered in partnership with and funded by Big Creative Training (BCT), part of London's largest creative college. As a Bodens student, you will also have access to the additional support and resources provided by BCT.

We are proud to be a registered charity, and our mission is to remove the financial barrier to performing arts training. We believe that talent and passion should be the determining factors in pursuing a career in the performing arts, not financial resources.
