Workshops
A great space to practice, develop your process and learn from others. No teaching, no egos, just freedom and play. Exactly the kind of space I needed as a working actor to stay sharp and maintain confidence in my work.

These sessions embrace the simplicity of getting up and committing to truthfully communicating the text to one another. An honest, wholesome and reassuring environment for any actor.
Roddy
These sessions push you while the facilitators create an atmosphere of support and encouragement, celebrating the individuality of each actor. I am genuinely so excited to get into the space and I always feel supported in trying new things, being bold and making choices.
Jemma
I don't think I've ever been in a room where I've felt as much freedom as I have at The Open Space. No judgement and no ego. Just like-minded people focused on the craft and supporting each other. You just let go and play.

Good acting classes are hard to come by, especially in Birmingham. The Open Space classes are a real game changer! These workshops get rid of any doubts and encourage us to get up and fail with nothing to prove. A safe space where you can engage with great actors and learn from others. Vital for any actor trying to hone their craft.
HARRY
Open Space describes it perfectly - this is an encouraging and accessible class for actors that challenges you to be more open and connect with the source material. Perfect for any actor - experienced or new. I always enjoy the classes and feel artistically nourished after - book on and get involved!
NATHANIEL
I was nervous to enter a room of new actors. However, they instantly created a calm and positive working environment that I felt extremely welcome and comfortable in. They are naturally able to put you at ease, encouraging you to stay open, really play and find the intricacies within a scene.
Ruth
I am so pleased to have found a space where I can continue to learn, grown and explore my craft. It is so important to have spaces like this for the artist to be around other creatives so we can continue to play and honour the text.
GEMMA
Upon graduating drama school in London I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find an affordable space in Birmingham to continue exploring craftwork. It’s all in the name - an open space for actors to have a play. No competition or ego - just a generous group of people enjoying the craft. The work is taken seriously but held lightly.
CURT
The Open Space has been an absolute gift; I’ve met so many wonderful people, unlocked new skills, explored new techniques and really got back in to the nitty gritty of what it is to be an actor. It’s such a free and pure space that I’d highly recommend to anyone!
Reis
Open Space is a great place to play, experiment and exercise your talents as an actor.
An incredibly well run class where actors are encouraged to give collaborative input and contribution to improve each other. Even when I have chosen to sit out and watch for an entire session I have still left with gems I can add to my acting arsenal!
OMAR
Open Space is EXACTLY what it says on the tin. Of all the workshops I’ve attended (from London to Manchester), I genuinely feel this has been the most beneficial for me as an actor working on his craft. It’s a place I can show up to and take risks I wouldn’t usually feel comfortable making in auditions (with zero judgment and honest/helpful feedback).
