Keeping our eyes on the future means supporting the unsung talents of today. For over a century, Italia Conti’s intensive training programmes have produced an astonishing array of professional artists, be it as actors, singers, dancers, or the triple-threat talents who dazzle us all. It’s a legacy with which we and our benefactors are proud to be associated as leaders in the field of Performing Arts training.
Your generosity will enable us to continue to fulfill our mission of excellence in performing arts education, enrolling students with the greatest potential regardless of their financial circumstances.
We invite you to explore these pages to find out how your support can make a difference or to contact us directly to talk more.
When you make a gift to Italia Conti – whether you direct it toward student scholarships, our hardship fund, or the further development of our campus and facilities – you become an integral member of the Italia Conti family. Thank you for supporting our work and helping Italia Conti students to reach their goals.

The Italia Conti Trust exists to support exceptional students who lack the means to fulfil their potential. Talent exists in all walks of life, and in some cases under the most desperate of circumstances. If you share the same passionate belief that access to the performing arts should accommodate talent wherever it’s found, regardless of circumstances, then please consider supporting our work.
Through the Trust, we support our existing and prospective students through difficult and challenging times. In the first instance, we offer scholarships to exceptionally talented students who may not otherwise have the means to pursue performing arts training, and our Hardship Fund enables students who encounter financial difficulties during their studies to complete their training.

Every seat in our theatre has the potential to inspire. Many of our students were moved to pursue a performing arts career from their first trip to the theatre. Our theatre seats are the vehicle by which new audiences are aroused and existing students are inspired and hone their craft. Your very own seat could be occupied by a star of the future.
Sponsor a theatre seat today with a gift of £250.
Whether for repertoire training, ensemble, solo singing or Acting Through Song, the piano is integral to our students’ triple threat training.

“I have just graduated from Liverpool Theatre School with a Level 6 Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre. I wanted to do the BA Hons (Top Up) in Professional Arts Practice course to further develop my skills for the industry. It is the perfect balance between academic writing and creativity. I already have seen improvements, both in my academic and performing work, and I now really value the ability to critically reflect on past experiences in order to improve my current skills.”
“I have found that my first term at Italia Conti has been better than I could’ve imagined. I am working with driven, passionate, likeminded people within all different realms of the performing arts industry. I find that the course is very tailored to each individual and the content is broad enough to apply to everyone but specific enough to challenge each person within their abilities. I find the course to be a place where I can collaborate and interact with people who I’d never had met otherwise. I only look forward to what the next few months of the course bring and feel more motivated than ever.”
Current Student, Class of July 2024“The course is allowing me to reflect on my past practice, current position, and future endeavours. I really enjoy how flexible the course is, with regards to being able to tailor my studies to my own practice, enabling me to maximise the benefits of this on my future career. I expect my professional development to be impacted exponentially and I am excited to continue!”
“Italia Conti’s BA Top up course was the one for me! Creating a business in under 9 months has been a massive accomplishment! The course really helps shape your future, enables you to meet professional contacts to support your research, and gives you lots of time to understand the area of the industry you want to specialise in.”
I’m a professional dancer but have taught only ballet. These classes are EXACTLY what I was looking for to show some basics of contemp for my students !! Absolutely love every single Video
I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I love every single one that she teaches. THANK YOU. Gorgeous movement.
Amazing class, one of the best I’ve ever done. So easy to follow, thank you!
I’m a dancer in LA and can’t keep up with my peers on how often they take dance classes. This channel has been so helpful for me to keep up my training. Thank you for sharing this with the world. I feel like we are all dancing together even though we are all doing this at different times and in different spaces. 🖤
Best ballet teacher on the internet❤ Great explanation, enthusiasm and commentary throughout the exercise!
