Artists Circle

'The RSC offers an environment of infinite possibility; for a designer to be encouraged to explore without limit can only produce the best possible end result. The breadth of accumulative knowledge and the support that is offered here is priceless.

'There is no greater learning experience than this.'

Michelle Smickle, Trainee Designer 

Through Michael Boyd's artistic vision, the RSC has returned to its founding principle: Ensemble theatre.

Every RSC Ensemble is supported by the Artists Development Programme which provides ongoing training and assistance.

This innovative scheme is funded through donations. In order to raise these funds we have created the Artists Circle: a collective of arts enthusiasts wishing to become more involved with the RSC and our unique approach to theatre-making.
