Curtain Call for May – May round-up
27th May 2026
May has been another exciting month across Mark Jermin, filled with opportunity and continued success. We began by heading to Ibiza for our Ibiza Adults sessions, where performers trained, developed their skills and gained valuable industry insight.
Back in the UK, it’s been fantastic to welcome students into our Swansea and Surrey in‑person classes, with sessions full of energy, focus and creativity. We also hosted a successful Headshot Day, giving students fresh, professional images to support their journey.
We’re especially proud to see our students ongoing success on screen, appearing in exciting projects, receiving rave reviews and working alongside major industry names.
