KAREN GILLAN

Eden Court provides so many great opportunities for studying theatre, dance and filmmaking in the Highlands. I did a lot of my initial training with them including my Higher Drama and completing my LAMDA certification. Their tutors were always there to support me. I had my first real experience of acting with Eden Court and it was their knowledge and experience that encouraged me to take the next step and pursue a career in the arts.

Eden Court’s Art Education Department is a great resource for everyone in the Highlands both young and old. If you haven’t tried yet, start participating and get inspired!’
