Welcome to Zope Actors Studio

Taught by working professionals

About Us

At Zope, you won’t just learn to act — you’ll learn what it truly means to be an actor.

Zope Actors Studio was created by a group of working professionals

  • Our philosophy is simple

    Train like you work. Every session at Zope is built around practical experience, professional standards, and honest feedback. We focus on giving actors the tools, mindset, and confidence to perform truthfully on screen.

  • Our goal

    to redefine how acting is taught. We set out to build a space that feels as close to the real industry as possible: creative, demanding, and completely immersive.

We believe growth happens when you feel supported to take risks. That’s why Zope is as much a community as it is a training ground — a place where actors can push their limits while feeling safe, respected, and creatively free. Between us, we hold over 150 professional credits, spanning everything from UK sell-out theatre tours to BAFTA-winning TV dramas and major studio films. Our combined experience allows us to offer real, practical insight into every corner of the industry. This isn’t just another acting class. It’s preparation for the industry — from the people living it.
