Actor training has significantly evolved since the start of the 21st century. From approaches involving theatre-making and entrepreneurism to cross-cultural pedagogies and the challenges of COVID-19, drama schools and acting programmes have engaged and reshaped the industry in ways that balance tradition and progressivism.
