Read Dance and Theatre College champions access to the Performing Arts for young people for under-represented backgrounds.

We run the UK’s leading full-time Performing Arts foundation courses, and offer our students training, mentoring, financial support and pastoral/wellbeing care. As well as full-time courses, we run careers and outreach programmes in schools and community organisations all over the south east, and we have a 97% success rate for our beneficiaries going on to further professional training at degree-level.

We have raised over £300k to support young people from financial disadvantage, and we are an inclusive organisation aiming to level the playing field in theatre and film across all areas of under-representation.
