  • In 2009, I moved from Iceland to London to pursue a career in acting. Kogan Academy helped reached my goals and the Science of Acting was brilliant, very approachable, concise and clear. Thanks to that I had the chance to work on several different, always amazing, characters! Furthermore, the Academy runs a directing course that you can follow alongside the acting course, giving you the opportunity to act and direct your own work! I will never thank enough Kogan Academy for this invaluable experience!
