Drama school and agents

[missmoneypenny]

Does anyone know if you are allowed an agent while at drama school? I am thinking of the London ones mostly - Mountview - Guildhall - RADA? I realise that time off in school time is a no no, but wondered if it's ok if doesn't clash?

Thanks

Yes, you are but you can't do any work whatsoever that interferes in any way with college so are really limited to the college holidays. That includes auditions. My son's agent is fully aware of the situation and will not contact him during college time. College courses are extremely intense. Hope this helps you.
