  2. 1 Hour of career advice with Artistic Director, Jimmy Fairhurst.

  3. A second original piece of bespoke material to perform in the showcase.

I can’t recommend Not Too Tames’ Bootcamp enough! Throughout the course I was pushed outside of my comfort zone consistently and I have discovered how to thrive even in unfamiliar territory.

Lauren Dwyer - 2025

“A fun, wonderful and spectacular experience. Every week I learned something new and it really has helped develop my skills as an actor in way I didn’t even think of. 

After the Showcase I truly feel Bulletproof and am ready to grab, tackle and nail every role given to me.

This is an experience I thoroughly enjoyed…Maybe I will even do it again, it was that amazing! “

Bryn Bellis - 2025 Summer Bootcamp

“Cheers for everything especially for helping me find my own voice and bringing me out of my comfort zone. 

Invaluable session with exercises that I will definitely use and fall back on in the future.”

Edward Kelly - 2025 Summer Bootcamp

“Since BOOTCAMP and being NTT’s Apprentice it’s all kicked off; Agent, UK Tour in a dream job and now I’m auditioning for big gigs and I feel bullet proof going in. SHABBA!”
