A TOP London drama school is holding auditions for a new course at Bromsgrove's Artrix.

The foundation acting course is being run by London's international drama school Rose Bruford College.

The college boasts a number of high-profile graduates including Gary Oldman, Tom Baker and Hayley Squires.

Last year it was rated gold for teaching excellence.

The 20-week course aims to provide participants with the skills, techniques and confidence for a career in the performing arts. Students will develop physically, vocally and imaginatively through coaching, theatre visits and auditions in front of casting directors.

It will run Monday to Thursday, beginning in September. The first set of auditions will take place in Bromsgrove on March 4, with a second set on June 24.
