The ISA believes that to provide world-class training you need a diverse range of talented instructors, and there are many benefits to training with a larger group of people, rather than under the guidance of one person. This is why our International network of Qualified and Experience Instructors have a broad range of age, experience and specialisms. We categorise them into two distinct groups, each offering unique benefits to our students. These groups are our 'Resident Instructors' and 'International Instructors'. Now let's explore the difference and why we do things the way we do... ISA Resident Instructors
Our Resident Instructors are some of our most accomplished graduates. They are members of our Pro Stunt Team who live at The ISA and train daily, working in the industry as a collective of Performers. These are people who already had previous training, experience and qualifications in their specialisms, and consistently excelled at The ISA, graduating with the highest grades. We're proud they have chosen to continue their journey with us after graduation or return regularly to The ISA to continue training and enhancing their certifications and qualifications. These individuals are not only exceptional performers but also show a remarkable talent and passion for teaching and mentoring others. Here’s why training with our Resident Instructors is a significant advantage for our students:
Our International Instructors are non-residential. They are visiting experts usually with 10+ years more working experience in their specific disciplines and they run courses internationally, move between our locations and work internationally in their chosen field. They typically fly in between films or visit for shorter periods because they believe in giving time back to support younger people and they share our values of helping young and emerging talent to have a safe and supportive path to train for success in a career and industry they have already seen success in. These people are very established figures in the stunt and action acting industry, internationally. They come from around the world to The ISA and bring a wealth of experience and specialised knowledge, contributing to our students' comprehensive education. Here’s what makes training with our International Instructors invaluable:
In addition to this we have our Stunt Team (Team ISA) who are a mix of residential and non-residential performers who form a performing collective that can quickly assemble and work together as a group, saving productions time and money in training and preparing people for roles, and giving them a fantastic group of diverse and talented young performers who have open access to our facilities, equipment and experts. Students can get to know our stunt team, train alongside them in Open Gym sessions or at weekends and collaborate with them in film projects, some also join classes as Spotters and Assistants. Why Living Amongst and Training with a Variety of Instructors and Performers is Beneficial At The ISA, we believe that training with a variety of instructors and 'people like you', over the course of a year, offers numerous advantages compared to short-term courses or short weekly classes with a single Coordinator / Instructor:
It’s important to clarify that our Resident Instructors are not "students teaching students.", as a competitor of ours recently tried to put it. They are accomplished professionals in their own right, many of whom have specialised in disciplines such as martial arts, gymnastics, dance, and acting from a young age and competed nationally and internationally winning medals and qualifying as teachers in their field, before joining The ISA to further their qualifications and specialise more in our field. They enjoyed their time here as a student and they are committed to continuing to share their knowledge and expertise to help the next generation of Action Actors and Stunt Performers (people like them), while also working as performers and often also coaching / teaching elsewhere. This is why training at The International Stunt Academy offers a unique blend of continuous, hands-on learning with our Resident Instructors and advanced, specialised training from our International Instructors, many of whom you wouldn't usually be able to gain access to (or you would have to fly all over the world to meet them). This dual approach ensures that our students receive the best of both worlds: personalised attention and preparation from those who have recently completed the journey, combined with the invaluable expertise of industry legends. Join us at The ISA to benefit from this comprehensive training model and take your first step towards a successful career in Action Acting and Stunt Performance. Comments are closed.
