Greystones, Co. Wicklow — Est. 2026
Technique-led drama training
for teens & adults
The school
A premium drama school rooted in craft. We offer rigorous, technique-led training for teens aged 15–18 and adults 18+ — the only school of its kind on the Wicklow coast.
About
The Circle was founded on a simple conviction: that people who want to act — really act — deserve a school built around technique, not confidence games. We teach the craft. The confidence follows.
Our approach draws on the disciplines of the major conservatoires — voice, movement, text analysis, scene study — delivered in a focused, small-group environment on the Wicklow coast.
We are not a recreational drama class. We are a school for people who are serious about the work.

Courses
Our courses run in weekly evening sessions across two dedicated programmes — one for teens, one for adults. Both are technique-led. Both are small. Both are serious. Classes will begin in Autumn 2026.
15 – 18 years
A weekly programme for teenagers who want to work seriously. Students study voice, text, movement and scene work in small groups, developing craft over a sustained term. This is not a performance showcase class — it is training.
18 years +
An evening programme for adults at any stage — whether you trained years ago and want to return to the work, or you are coming to it for the first time. The focus is on the fundamentals: text, presence, truth. No experience required. Seriousness of intent is.
