Please note: The Conservatoire of Dance and Drama is not directly involved in training students. All teaching occurs within the Conservatoire schools themselves: each is a distinct and legally autonomous institution with its own administrative and teaching staff. If you would like information about staff at each of the schools, please visit the individual institution’s website.
