About us
Get an insight into the history of East 15, how we
were inspired by the work of the legendary Joan Littlewood and the Theatre Workshop, and how those
principles still influence us today.
Our undergraduate and postgraduate courses, offered in Loughton and Southend, include
unique programmes like BA World Performance or BA Acting and Stage Combat. Students from
around the world study with us,
and we have trained countless leading actors,
directors and technicians over our 50-year history.
Our luminaries include Alison Steadman (Gavin and Stacey), Blake Harrison
(The Inbetweeners), Arsher
Ali (Four Lions), Reece Ritchie (The Lovely Bones) and Oscar-nominated director Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours).
