I spent three wonderful years at SPOT, obtaining a diploma in acting and choreography. I am currently working in my profession and studying at the Vocal and Acting Department in Łódź (specializing in choreography), and it is only thanks to the skills I acquired in this wonderful place on Dekerta Street. If I hadn't gone there, today I would probably be an ordinary, sad person, without dreams, doing things in life that would not bring me joy.

Spot: answers several questions related to acting, teaches specifics, broadens horizons, teaches courage. I met several people there who had a positive influence on my development. Thank you!

A year spent getting to know the people I had the opportunity to work with, sharing good times and bad, and above all, getting to know myself, myself as an actor, dancer, and performer. Discovering my strengths and weaknesses. Discovering boundaries, which, as it turned out later, do not really exist. The second year was spent working hard on the craft that an actor must possess. Many paths opened up, many things became clear. I am extremely grateful to the school's lecturers for their support, help, and, of course, for skillfully passing on their knowledge and experience to us—young people looking for our place in the theater world.

The Spot Acting School is a place where every student has the opportunity to freely develop their passions, realize their dreams, and pursue their aspirations to be on stage, thanks to professional staff, a family atmosphere, and a curriculum equivalent to that of state schools. Are you stressed about exams? Choose SPOT and start your adventure with theater at your own pace. There will be time for stress and craziness later. I recommend it.

I don't have to think long to conclude that the two years I spent at SPOT were the best years of my life. The knowledge I gained, and in particular the skills I acquired, have proven to be invaluable. These were years of ups and downs, overcoming my own weaknesses, liters of sweat and sometimes even tears. I will never regret my decision to study at this school, and I am very happy that fate gave me this opportunity. SPOT is not just a school—it is, above all, people who will always have a place in my heart. Warm regards from sunny Białystok.

The subject of the SPOT Acting School is a vast topic for me. I could talk about this school for hours. It is a place that was like a second home to me. Whenever I cross the threshold of SPOT, I feel like I am returning to my family home after a long journey. I remember every day I spent here. I remember what I helped to repair, I remember the SPOT barbecues where I watched over the sausages. I remember every drop of sweat left in room 7. I remember that often when I got up in the morning and had something to do later, I still came right when it opened. I remember the all-night rehearsals. I remember my first day and the first few days when I came here and didn't really know what acting was all about. As I enter, I also hear Mr. Jan's booming “Ryczkowski” (he'll probably say “Oh, Ryczkoski Ryczkoski. A day without flattery is a day wasted” when he reads this). Over the course of two years, the lecturers at this school became like good uncles and aunts to me, from whom I learned a lot and which I try to use to this day.

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that SPOT is the most wonderful place I have ever been to and, fortunately for me, I was able to spend the most enjoyable two years of my life there, at a time when I needed to feel completely at home in a city that was then unknown to me. The best summary would be the fact that, as a graduate of three majors, I only miss SPOT. Right after my childhood memories, my memories of SPOT are the strongest ones I have.

The time I spent at SPOT was the best period of my life. The people there are like one big family, and the friendships I made during my time at SPOT are still going strong and will last forever. The staff are excellent, the best of the best. The knowledge they share with us is immense.

SPOT graduate
I could say a lot about school—of course, there were good times and bad times, but the good memories prevail. I believed in myself, I learned my worth and what kind of person I am... I know that I can do a lot, that there are no barriers in front of me, I just have to work hard to achieve results. I am active in my profession, I try to do as much as possible—I know I can do it! The contact between students, graduates, and lecturers is magical! I love SPOT—I love the people who make up the acting department... we are like a family.

SPOT is a place that helps you face your weaknesses and overcome them. Here, you meet exceptional people and form wonderful friendships. Each class is unique, developing your acting skills from different angles and teaching you many methods. You mature not only as an actor, but also internally, in life. The atmosphere is so pleasant that you don't even feel like you're going to school. After all, you're doing what you love. Personally, the time I spent at SPOT was some of the best in my life.
