We don’t believe professional training should be all-or-nothing. Some actors are ready to go full-time. Others need to work while they train. Others want to test the water first. Every one of these pathways leads somewhere real. Find your perfect-fit acting program with GFCA.

HB Studio x GFCA London present the Hagen Teacher’s Lab — an intensive 5-day program for teachers, teachers-in-training, and professional actors exploring Uta Hagen’s approach to stage and classroom.

Led by HB Studio artists Brian Mulligan and Francesca Ferrara, both trained directly under Uta Hagen.

Hagen’s book, Respect for Acting, significantly influenced training at Drama Centre London, where her protégé Doreen Cannon trained many actors, including those at RADA.

The drama school audition system rejects more talented actors than it accepts — and always has. We built GFCA London as a different kind of institution, following the legacy of Drama Centre London. We specialise in rigorous methodology, in a heart-centered environment. It’s training that’s built around you, not around a cohort of 30. October 2026 applications are open. Link in bio.
