Shocks & Feelers ShowBiz Academy

At Shocks & Feelers 21st Century Entertainment Academy, we believe the perfect "ending" for a "ShowBiz" studies course is to LEAVE the course BEFORE it ENDS because your career is EXPLODING.

With great online learning resources like this, why should students pay huge university tuition fees? What they really need is an opportunity to have short screenplays regularly turned into short films as they learn their craft.

Shocks & Feelers 21st Century Entertainment Academy doesn't follow a traditional, curriculum-driven approach to education, but instead, adopts a QUEST-Driven education model. In this video, Shocks & Feelers founder, Haydn Rushworth, outlines the five key elements in a QUEST-Driven Education Model.

One of the biggest and most controversial differences with Shocks and Feelers to traditional universities, is that there will be no exams, there will be no coursework, there will be no grades. Our approach is that we want to focus entirely on career development rather than getting distracted with grades. You see, we believe that as an entertainer, your audience matters far more than the opinions of academic assessors. So all of our students will be assessing whether or not they are any good by their audience figures, throughout their time at Shocks & Feelers.

Because here’s the thing: When students get into the real world in the entertainment industry, there are really only three things that matter:

Can you work well with a team?

Are you dependable? Will you show up on time? Will you do what you say you’re going to do and will you do it when you say you’re going to do it?

And can you dazzle an audience?

If you CAN’T do those three things, your university grades are absolutely irrelevant. And if you CAN do those three things, NEWSFLASH, your university grades are absolutely irrelevant.

So we’re going to skip all the university grade stuff.

Other people can do that if they want to, that’s fine; we’re taking a different approach. We’re going to skip straight to the stuff that we believe REALLY matters if you’re serious about building a career in the entertainment industry.

Can you work well with a team?
Are you dependable?
And are you DAZZLING as an entertainer?

Whether you’re in front of the camera, behind the camera, as a writer, as a director, post-production, pre-production, production… Wherever you are: can you create dazzling entertainment?

That’s what we aim to do!

We’re trying to create an environment where people with potential can absolutely blossom!
