About Bodens College

Your Pathway . Your Future

Young people beginning their training at our drama school can choose an acting, musical theatre or production pathway.  While both musical theatre and acting students will study most elements of performing arts, acting pathway students focus more on screen acting, contemporary and classical texts, while our musical theatre students explore singing technique, dance and acting through song. Production arts students focus on film production, theatre sound & lighting, producing, directing, and writing. 

Our Training

We provide a fully funded creative arts college with training for young people aged 16-18 years. Our fully accredited courses, led by passionate and experienced tutors, enable students to develop their skills through training and performances, gain knowledge of the arts, and progress into higher education at University or drama school.

Our Mission

To transform the lives of young people through inspirational teaching, providing exceptional training in performing arts and access to higher education and career opportunities in the creative industries.

Bodens have a long history of offering high quality training to young people. Their two year course is excellent. As a result the students are focused, disciplined and they approach the work with a maturity beyond their years. I can recommend this course highly.
