ONE-DAY CPD COURSE
|
WEDNESDAY 15TH APRIL 2026 9.00am-3.30pm Sharpe HQ, Harrow Arts Centre, |
Join us for a one-day Continuing Professional Development course exploring how the performance industry works.
Many teachers and performers only understand the industry through their own personal experience. Because every performer’s journey is different, students can sometimes miss the wider knowledge that helps careers succeed.
Led by Daniel Sharpe, who has over 20 years’ experience as an industry professional and now runs both a full-time Musical Theatre college in London and a graduate agency, this course shares practical insight from both the training and professional sides of the industry.
Success should never be about luck.
It should come from understanding how the industry works.
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
| Industry Liason Officers | University & College Teachers | Professional Performers |
| Industry Professionals | University & College Course Leaders | Graduate Performers |
| New Agents | Pre-Vocational, BTEC & Sixth Form Teachers | 3rd Year Students |
