Don’t miss this opportunity to work with Tom

The pandemic closed studio classes in March 2020, and since opening up Tom has only held studio classes with his regular students, as he worked on advanced techniques developed during lockdown.

This means it’s been two years since new students could work with Tom in-person.

To close out the year, Tom has decided to open his studio classes to actors who have not worked with him before.

Tom allows you to identify your own process and own it not through some didactic form of teaching but through a series of precise prompts that begin to cue the performance out of you and realise your potential.
