The South West Actor's Network
Connecting Actors across the South West Peninsula by Offering Continued Professional Development & Authentic, Meaningful Networking...
Inspired by conversations with a number of actors feeling isolated and disconnected in the region, in 2020, The Wheel launched the South West Actors Network; to build connections between individuals, organisations and acting communities across the South West of England. It’s a low cost subscription service which offers actors opportunities for continuing professional development, creative networking and a sense of being part of a larger community. For employers we offer a free and easy one stop shop service to access the network of professional actors living in the South West Peninsula.
For Employers...
