Train with the performers you’ve seen on stage. Learn the material, the style, and the energy that defines the West End right now.

Italia Conti’s West End Workhops is a high-energy, one-week experience designed for performers who want to step into the world of professional musical theatre. Working directly with West End performers and creatives, you’ll explore current repertoire, rehearsal processes, and the pace of the industry in a way that feels immediate, relevant, and exciting.

Across the week, you’ll take part in guest-led workshops that reflect what is happening on stage today. You’ll work on songs, scenes, and choreography from current productions, develop your performance skills, and experience the kind of direction and expectations performers work with every day.

Alongside this, Italia Conti faculty and visiting staff will lead core classes in acting, singing, and dance, supporting your development as a well-rounded performer and helping you get the most out of each session.

Whether you’re training seriously or simply passionate about musical theatre, this course gives you a unique opportunity to work up close with industry professionals, build confidence, and experience what it feels like to be part of that world.

By the end of the week, you’ll feel more confident, be inspired by current West End performers, and leave with material from your favourite shows ready to perform. Check back soon to see the confirmed line-up of guest teachers. Guests may change due to availability.

Student Experiences

“

I feel like I came into Conti with probably quite specific ideas on what I thought I would end up being. And I feel like it’s very easy to put yourself in a box and sort of have expectations for yourself. Whereas I feel like Conti has definitely pushed me to do things that maybe I would have been scared to do.

I feel prepared to do all these things that scared me before.

- Lauren Pierce

“

You get to work with people who have different techniques and different ways of working. also people who are in the industry. You’re not only getting taught by industry professionals every day, but you’re getting an insight in the projects from someone who’s actually currently working in the industry.

- Louis Kershaw

“

There are smaller classes in order to allow the teacher to have that closer bond, relationship, one-on-one time with the students and really give them feedback, not generalised feedback, feedback that they need.
