East 15 a history. Gerry McAlpine.

The History of Actor Training in the British Drama School.

In this episode, recorded live at East 15 in November 2020, Gerry McAlpine, a graduate of the school and currently head of the First year of the BA and Cert HE, talks about the spirit at the heart of Margaret Walker's drama school, established to promote and develop the ideas and working methods of Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop. The other voice you will hear sometimes is that of Andrea Brooks who currently runs the MA acting degree at East 15. The photograph is of the pond dug as part of the living history project a good example of East 15's working methods.
