Susan Elkin meets the ArtsEd’s Chris Hocking to find out why the school continues to be so successful and is in such high demand.
"I think we are probably the school of choice for anyone wanting to specialise in musical theatre” says Chris Hocking, principal designate of Arts Educational Schools in Chiswick and currently head of its highly successful Musical Theatre Course. “And our outcomes are excellent” That’s no idle boast. Scarlett, Summer and Zizi Strallen trained there as did Martin Clunes, Julie Andrews and Bonnie Langford among many other high achieving performers.
Each and every Arts Educational Schools musical theatre graduate is in, or has been in, professional work within six months of graduating. “They do the whole range” Chris says “including panto, theatre, TV, film and cruise ships.” No wonder ArtsEd won The Stage’s School of the Year 2016 award.
Arts Educational Schools operates several schools at its Chiswick headquarters – hence the plural name. Usually known simply as ArtsEd, the organisation also includes a full time day school and a well developed diverse and eclectic part time training programme – among other things.
