🎟 Pricing:
(Bursaries and payment plan available)
We believe in valuing the work while keeping it open to everyone, especially working-class and underrepresented voices. Here's how it works:
🎟 Standard Rate - £300 Pre Black Friday £225.00
🎟 Bursary Place - £250 Pre Black Friday £187.50
Two spots are available for working-class or underrepresented directors.
💬 If cost is a barrier, talk to us. We’re about access, not gatekeeping.
Once you’ve booked, you’ll get a confirmation email with all the details, including location, timing, and any prep notes.
The workshop runs Wednesday 26th & Thursday 27th November, 4–8:30 PM. Full attendance both days is expected to get the most out of the sessions.
Bookings are non-refundable, but you can transfer your place to another participant if you give at least 48 hours’ notice. Late cancellations or no-shows will mean your place is forfeited.
If Not Too Tame or Jimmy Fairhurst needs to reschedule or cancel, you’ll be offered a refund or a spot on the next available workshop.
Bursary places are reserved for working-class or underrepresented directors, are non-transferable, and cannot be combined with other offers.
Participants are expected to engage respectfully and fully. Recording is not allowed, though Not Too Tame may record for internal reflection or training purposes only — never shared publicly, and you’ll be informed if it happens.
We aim to make the workshop accessible to everyone. If cost, mobility, or other barriers may affect your participation, please contact us at info@nottootame.com.
By booking, you agree to these terms and to being part of a supportive, no-nonsense creative space.
