025 - How MN Awards Is Changing the Future of Drama Education with Tom Newton
In this episode of the Acting Coach Network Podcast, I sit down with Tom Newton, co-founder of Middleweek Newton Talent Management, MN Academy, and the groundbreaking MN Awards - the first Ofqual recognised awarding body to specialise exclusively in film and television.
Tom shares his journey from actor training to casting professional, agent, and now education entrepreneur, and the pivotal role screen acting has played throughout his career. Together, Savanna and Tom chat about:
- The story behind launching Middleweek Newton Talent Management from a spare bedroom
- How MN Academy and Cromer Studios became creative hubs for innovation
- The five-year journey to Ofqual recognition and the resilience it demanded
- Why screen acting deserves to stand shoulder to shoulder with theatre in drama education
- How teachers can bring film, TV, and digital media confidently into their classrooms
They discuss the significance of CPD training for teachers, and the future directions for MN Awards, including new qualifications in filmmaking. The conversation emphasises the need for resilience, innovation, and the recognition of screen acting as a vital discipline in the performing arts.
This episode is a must-listen for acting coaches, theatre school owners, and educators who believe the future of performing arts training lies in embracing both stage and screen.
