CMA London - 7th & 8th June 2025
Weekend Workshop with Film and TV Director Lloyd-Eyre Morgan


Join us in June for a weekend workshop with award-winning director Lloyd Eyre-Morgan (Departures, Eastenders, S.A.M) and CMA co-founder Majid.

Actors attending will be the first to work on an original film script with Lloyd, workshopping characters and scenes with personalised direction and feedback.

This is a great chance to work with a brilliant up and coming screen director.

CMA Manchester - 7th & 8th June 2025
Weekend Workshop with Juliet Charlesworth

Join us for a weekend workshop led by George and acclaimed producer Juliet Charlesworth, known for her work on Happy Valley, Stay Close, and Brassic. This intensive, hands-on experience offers actors a rare opportunity to explore text and character through the lens of a top-tier television producer.

Across the weekend, Juliet will share her insights on what makes a performance stand out, how actors can better understand story and structure from a producer’s perspective, and the collaborative nature of working on set. Participants will engage in practical exercises, script work, and discussions that deepen their understanding of working in high-end TV drama.
