About Association of Acting Coaches & Educators (AACE) International and AACE UK

Welcome to AACE International & AACE UK! We started in Canada by gathering together concerned industry partners, knowledgeable and dedicated educators, grassroots community groups and students. A working group was built with representatives from; ACTRA Toronto, CAEA, the CDC, the EIC, TAMAC, GYB, KAS, AGC, Schools/Studios, and educators who created an industry code of Code of Conduct, AACE Member guide and application process. The creation of AACE has helped bring oversight and best practices to the sector for students and parents, but it has also created a much needed community where coaches and educators can learn, share and grow together. AACE UK launched in London in 2025 with its community partner Mountview and community supporters The Creative Industries Independent Standards Authority (CIISA) and The Actor Wellbeing Facilitators Collective (AWFC). For more information visit www.aaceuk.org BACKGROUND The Creative Industries in Canada can be very proud of the work AACE International has done to change the culture of bullying, discrimination, sexual harassment, and violence in our workplaces. Many industry partners came together to develop codes, policies, reporting mechanisms and educational resources that changed the collective culture in our workplace. After #MeToo many brave students and former students in Canada came forward to shine a light on problems in education, coaching and self-tape environments. It became clear that there was more work to do. In 2018 Got Your Back (GYB) created a National Acting Training Survey in Canada with over 500 students’ responses. A strong recommendation from the survey was to establish an Association to provide oversight, guidance, community and educational resources for Acting Coaches and Educators in Canada. AACE members have made a positive commitment to work together to educate, support each other and create a safer work environment for students, coaches and educators.
