Guildford School of Acting
Guildford School of Acting (GSA), originally known as the Grant-Bellairs School of Dance and Drama, was founded in London in 1935 by Pauline Grant and Bice Bellairs. The school was relocated to Guildford in 1945 as a result of World War II. In 1964, the school became a charitable organisation and was renamed Guildford School of Acting & Dance. In the early 1990s the '& Dance' was dropped. Today the school is a limited company. Its head office is on the University of Surrey's Stag Hill Campus, Guildford, Surrey.
The school offers professional training in drama, musical theatre and production skills such as stage management, lighting and sound design. All full time courses lead towards further and higher education qualifications validated by either Trinity College, London or the University of Surrey. Being recognised as a leading performing arts institution, the school is one of only twenty one specialist schools selected to award the government Dance and Drama Awards for courses validated by Trinity College.
The school stages regular private and public performances at various venues, including the Ivy Arts Centre, the Electric Theatre, the Mill Theatre, and an annual graduate production at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre.
