Professional theatre and television director Ruth Carney established Carney Academy in September 2010. Her aim was clear: to offer industry standard performance training that unlocked the skills necessary to thrive in today’s entertainment industry, while empowering students to believe in themselves and understand how they best work with others. Over the last decade Carney Academy has flourished and now teaches from two flagship schools – Carney Sheffield and Carney Cheshire.
