LEARN
THE ACTORS' PLAYGROUND
We are committed to setting each and every one one of our students on their own path to excellence. Our holistic approach to educating allows us to create safe and supportive environments for our students, allowing them to tap into their creativity, confidence and passion. We consider all factors such as age, past experience and styles of learning and communicating when teaching to ensure the best learning and development outcomes for our students. While we pride ourselves on our ability to build strong professional performers, we're also passionate about serving as a space for young people to just have fun and connect with others.
We were extremely excited to launch our Actors' Playground during the mid-year school holidays of 2022, offering children aged 7 - 16 two programs which are highly engaging, stimulating and social.
These workshops are designed to teach a range of technical skills in the areas of singing, dancing, acting, while encouraging our students to express themselves and to embrace their silly side.

Acting for the Screen

Lights, camera, action! Through this screen acting program, our brilliant team of educators will deliver specialised training, creative techniques and valuable industry insights to our students, ensuring they feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera in a playful learning environment.
Students will perform scenes to be filmed and analysed in class while receiving personalised feedback.
