There are 3 sessions in total - an afternoon and evening session on a weekday, and a Saturday class. New information is introduced on the Saturday. We suggest attending all 3 to get the most out of the training, but understand that is not always possible, in which case you could attend one of the single weekday sessions (3.30pm or 6pm) and the Saturday. It is not advised to miss the Saturday session.
Once you have signed up and paid your deposit, you have access to all three modules at a time that suits you. Whilst most people tend to do their 3 modules one after the other, occasionally an actor may book a job, or life happens, and you need to put it on hold. Let us know that you need to defer, and when you would like to jump back in, and we will find a place for you.
The course is divided into three modules of eight weeks each. The course is designed to give you all the information you need during one weekday session plus the Saturday session. You are, however, welcome to attend both weekday sessions depending on your availability. Our focus is on offering you high quality information rather than the quantity of time we take to do it, so classes may run longer or shorter on occasion.
The course is designed and taught by Impulse Artistic Director Scott Williams with occasional substitution, principally by Trine Garrett, Jacqui-Lee Pryce or Michael Gilhooley.
Class sizes vary from year to year but are unlikely to consist of more than 20 people. Between eight and 15 has been the average over the 20 years we’ve been running the course.
Because the Technique is experiential, classes are practical and are, we believe, unique in the amount of personal tuition and feedback you’ll receive.
The majority of students will begin with Module 1, Living Truthfully. Even if you’ve done an introductory course with us, or elsewhere, it can only give you a flavour of what the Technique can deliver.
Students who have already have a significant body of experience with The Impulse Company may begin with either Module 2 – The Given Set of Circumstances – or Module 3 – A State of Aliveness, using it as a showcase opportunity, with Scott’s agreement.

I had been acting for ten years but was never really confident in my ability. Whilst on Scott’s workshop, I swiftly learned about using a true technique and craft which has now given me all the tools I need as an actor to go on and perform at the highest level. I highly recommend working with Scott Williams.
