Everyone starts in the same place.
From there, the system is applied in different directions..
Everyone starts with Foundation.
This is where you learn how the system works.
There is no specialisation at this stage.
The focus is on:
understanding behaviour
working under pressure
seeing what is actually happening
This is the base for everything that follows.
Once you understand the system, you begin applying it.
This is where pathways come in.
Pathways are not separate systems.
They are different ways of using the same structure.
You can focus on one pathway or take on more than one over time.
Progression is structured in cycles:
Foundation and Levels 1 to 3 are completed within one cycle (3 months)
Levels 4 and above run in longer cycles (6 months)
As you move up, the work becomes more controlled, more stable, and more precise.
The acting pathway focuses on producing behaviour on screen.
This includes:
responding in real time
working under pressure
building consistency across takes
developing control without forcing results
Levels:
Level 1 to Level 6+
As levels increase, so does:
control
stability
precision
The aim is to produce behaviour that holds up consistently on camera.
The writing pathway focuses on constructing behaviour in scenes.
This includes:
building pressure into situations
structuring interaction
writing around behaviour, not just dialogue
understanding how people actually communicate
Levels:
Level 1 to Level 4+
The aim is to create scenes that produce believable behaviour.
The directing pathway focuses on shaping and capturing behaviour.
This includes:
working with actors inside the system
identifying what is and is not working
adjusting behaviour in real time
capturing consistent, usable footage
Levels:
Level 1 to Level 4+
The aim is to produce work that feels controlled and repeatable.
After Foundation, you can train in more than one pathway.
Each additional pathway expands how you apply the system.
You are not learning something separate.
You are increasing your ability to use the same system in different ways.
This is the step before interview.
Entry is selective. This is based on fit, not just interest.
