Welcome to

GILES FOREMAN CENTRE FOR ACTING PARIS

Your acting training shouldn’t look like everyone else’s.

Where the legacy of Drama Centre London meets bespoke, English-first training. It’s instruction that meets you where you are and prepares you for the international stage.

Think the international market isn’t accessible? Think again

Your acting preparation gave you a strong foundation, but to break into the international market you need more than that. You need small-class, method-based training in English and French that helps you grow as an actor and give you the language support to walk into an international audition and nail it. You need GFCA Paris.

The entertainment industry has changed. With the rise of international productions, it’s no longer impossible to break in on the world-wide stage. However, without the right instruction, the international opportunities remain just that – missed opportunities.

“The Giles Foreman Centre for Acting is the natural successor to the (original) Drama Centre London”

Rigorous training for unconventional actors

At Giles Foreman Centre for Acting in Paris, we believe acting is informed by the individual, so the preparation should be too. And, when you’re training in a different language, that personalized attention becomes even more important.

Led by international acting coach Giles Foreman, GFCA is rooted in the celebrated legacy of Drama Centre London and continues methodology developed by pioneers Yat Malmgren and Christopher Fettes. We have been training both actors and directors for over a decade, for not only success on the international stage, but also the skills you need to build a courageous life as an actor. 

We offer a variety of flexible training paths to provide accessible and affordable options for actors, so you get the supportive instruction that you need to succeed.
