THE SCREEN ROOM - LONDON

Coaching. Workshops. Community.

After serving as joint heads of Screen, Audio and Digital Innovation at LAMDA Michelle Bonnard and Amy Cudden set up The Screen Room - London, a space for actors to continue developing their craft.

At the heart of The Screen Room’s work work is a belief that professional actors need opportunities to keep exploring, taking risks and developing their artistry. The Screen Room brings together professional training, practical industry knowledge and a supportive creative community, helping actors deepen their craft, build confidence and create their best work for screen.

Our next in person workshop:

SCREEN ACTING: A RESET

22nd - 23rd October 2026 | 10:00 - 16:00 and 10:00 - 17:00

Soho Theatre Walthamstow

£280

Maximum 12 actors

This practical two-day intensive is designed to help professional actors reconnect with their screen craft, confidence and creativity. Through scene work and a deep dive into character and story, we’ll focus on the process that leads to compelling screen performances. We will explore the unique demands of screen-work, the relationship between the actor and the camera, and how to bring yourself authentically to the work. Throughout the workshop we will draw on professional on-set practices and you will gain a deeper understanding of how you can make bold, exciting and technically fluent offers.

While participants work towards creating a self-tape, the workshop is not about the tape itself. It’s about how we get there.

DAY ONE: Analysis into Practice ● What makes screen performances compelling and affecting ● Reflect on how your own taste, instincts and authenticity shape your work ● Put ideas into action through paired exercises and experimentation ● Discover how different choices translate on screen through observation and focused feedback

DAY TWO: Practice into Action ● Integrate instinct with craft through practical work ● Apply the tools and insights from the workshop to create your own self-tape ● Discussion on how to carry the workshop's ideas into your ongoing creative practice ● Leave with a strong self-tape, and renewed joy in screen work, and confidence in your process.

This workshop forms part of The Screen Room London's ongoing commitment to creating spaces where professional actors can reconnect with their creativity, invest in their artistic development, and build lasting connections with like-minded artists.
