WHAT IS IT?
Our International Summer School is a unique opportunity to work with Frantic practitioners on our Advanced Intensive Residency.
The International Summer School is an opportunity for professional artists from around the world to come together in London to Train or Create for five days. This culminates in a sharing open to an invited audience.
Train with us
This five-day intensive with Frantic Assembly will give participants the opportunity to engage with the Frantic Method, explore it in detail alongside two Frantic Practitioners, and leave with the confidence to apply it in their own work. Through practical workshops participants will be led through Advanced exercises and devising techniques, unique to Frantic Assembly.
This pathway would be particularly suitable for Theatre Directors, Movement Directors and Practitioners.
Create with us
The Create route is an insight into how Frantic Assembly devise new work.
Thrown straight into the process of making work the Frantic way, and under the guidance of two Frantic Practitioners, participants will create a devised performance across the five-day residency. The ‘create first, think later’ ethos will give participants a true experience of a Frantic rehearsal room, from Method to performance, whilst challenging perceptions of how work can be created.
The Create route will culminate in the sharing of a devised performance at the end of the week, to an invited audience.
This pathway would be particularly suitable for actors and Theatre makers looking to develop their practice.
The International Summer School is open to applicants aged 18+ only. This intensive course is ideal for those that haven't been able to train with us because they are based outside of the UK.
The training is for participants who have professional experience of working in theatre or dance. You must be available for all 5 days.
This course is designed for participants aged 18 and over. Participants will be selected based on experience and suitability for this programme.

I came away from the training feeling totally invigorated and inspired. My body felt like it could take on anything and my mind totally free yet full of ideas.

I loved the variety of ways to consider creative movement. When you break it down, it's all so simple but the result is breath-taking.
