Step into the Arena
Arena: (noun). A field of conflict, activity or endeavour. You might think it harsh, or even inappropriate, but Arena is the right metaphor for training.

Actors in Immersive Training.

What a Great Rapport!
Adhoc were called in last minute to work with Rapport agency recently, facilitating an enormously complicated team building event for Capital One. The crew at Rapport were some of the nicest people we’ve worked with but we couldn’t have been prouder of the team of actors we put together. Not only professional and slick but…

The Lost Generation of actors!
Have you noticed the phrase”emerging talent”? It is always accompanied by portraits of very young actors, fresh out of drama school, looking to make a living in the business, quite often starry eyed with visions of fame dancing before them.
