Grethe Mangala Jensen - Monday Class

''I attended the Monday class on recommendation, and very glad I did! Richard is a fantastic director, who creates an inclusive atmosphere for professional as well as non professional performers. Every week is different and you leave each session feeling you've learnt something new and gained useful skills. Can't recommend Stage Craft enough !!''

Kevin Inskip - Monday Class

''Where do I start… fantastic, friendly, educational, funny, dramatic, brilliant.

As someone new to acting this is a safe zone to learn from others, encourage and help each other along and really have good fun.

There is a structure to the meetings but not rigid so you don’t feel under too much pressure.

Richard Bland really knows his stuff and gets other experts in when he believes the team is ready for further levels of development.

It is amazing… give it a go.''

Sofia Ferreira - Sunday Class

''I've been coming to Stage Craft since January & love it. Everyone is welcome no matter your experience and ability, it's a great way to engage in a creative & safe space whether you're new to acting or have tons of professional experience. Richard goes the extra mile to ensure these sessions are what they are & encourages a lot of social & creative engagement outside of sessions for anyone who wants more. Highly recommend Stage Craft''

''I’m absolutely loving taking part in the sessions at Stage craft. I’m so excited that Richard has put this together as it’s a perfect way to develop your skills and engage and interact with other like minded people and share ideas etc. the sessions are really fun and welcoming, plus it’s great to be learning more about acting.''

Gordon Jones - Sunday Class

''This is a really welcoming and fun class that would suit a wide range of experience levels. I'm pretty much a complete beginner and have really enjoyed my time with the group so far, while others with much more experience then me also keep coming back for more. If you'd like to explore your creative side a bit more, meet friendly, like-minded people and have a laugh, give it a go!''

''Stage craft is great if you want to develop your skills, widen your knowledge, meet other creatives and have fun. Richard is a great teacher and enables you to explore a range of acting methods/techniques.''
