Living Pictures create professional development for directors and actors.
Since 2001 we have annually hosted courses in London and Cardiff. We are regarded as a leading training resource for director training in the UK. Leading industry directors are sourced and invited to lead workshops in their tried and tested methodology. Directors train with them for a weekend, week or two weeks, and are guided through their practice as actors in order to learn experientially. We aim to provide an eclectic mix of disciplines and encourage a diverse outlook to director training, while maintaining a rigour of practice and a search for excellence at the heart of our teaching. As well as being a training company we aim to create theatre art of the highest standard and produce stage productions in the UK.

"The Living Pictures Directors Acting initiative is such a valuable resource and clearly demonstrates the company's commitment to director development in the UK."
Katie Mitchell, Associate Director National Theatre
"The practical, hands-on directing courses from skilful directors with specific methods of work that Living Pictures has been offering over the past few years is a truly unique and focused contribution to the generally haphazard director-training that exists in the UK."Mike Alfreds
