AGE 11-18 YRS
LOCATION LARK LANE COMMUNITY CENTRE

Our two Senior Stage Acting groups focus mainly on three things - shows, workshops & the future. We rehearse and perform in full scale productions for the theatre. We have performed in dramas, thrillers, horrors, action-adventures, comedies, and more. Every young actor is given a brilliant role (written with the actor in mind) and is taken through a rehearsal process that resembles a professional production. Our plays are always originally written, based on popular movies and ridiculously fun to rehearse. By the end of the year, each Seniors Stage Acting group will have performed in at least one production and taken part in dozens of acting workshops. This class improves confidence, overall happiness, acting ability, and young people's chances of gaining a place at one the country's top universities or drama schools.

TIME 5.30-6.45pm
AGE 9-14 yrs
LOCATION LARK LANE COMMUNITY CENTRE

Drama Plus is a highly creative drama class in which we play creative acting games, work on improvisation, devising, story telling, and script work, as well as things we tend to not focus on within our other sessions. We explore skills such as directing, stand up comedy, puppetry, stage fighting, drama leading, and more, and aim to give our young actors a glimpse into the different strands of acting, drama, and the performing arts. This is an incredibly fun, friendly, and non-judgmental class, in which everyone shines, regardless of ability and background. Drama Plus is a class in which we do not perform in shows as it's all about the process, meaning it's the perfect class for those new to performing. In Drama Plus, we let our imaginations run wild, boost confidence, learn cool new skills, and enjoy meeting new like minded friends.

TUESDAY

JUNIORS

TIME 5.30-7pm
AGE 6-11 yrs
LOCATION LARK LANE COMMUNITY CENTRE

Our Juniors group focuses mainly on three things - shows, short movies & having ridiculous amounts of fun. We rehearse and perform in one live production (in a local small theatre), and one short movie each year, and still have time to play creative drama games, take part in cool new workshops, and have fun away from audiences, too. Every young actor is given a good sized role in both our live show and recorded short movie (cast with the actor in mind) and is taken through a rehearsal process which is both great fun and that teaches them how to tell great stories. Our scripts are often originally written, based on topics the kids love and incredibly fun to perform. This class improves confidence, happiness, and acting ability, and is a great way to make new like minded friends.

TIME 7-8.30PM
AGE 11-18 YRS
LOCATION lARK LANE COMMUNITY CENTRE

Our Acting on Location (for Seniors) class is our most unique. In this small group session, we focus mainly on three things - performing in experimental plays, performing in unusual locations & the future. No two terms are ever the same. We rehearse for events, installations, and experiences, rather than plays for theatres, and often perform in unique, movie-set locations. We have performed in underground tunnels, dense woodlands, abandoned schools, and centuries old churches. Every young actor is given a brilliant role (written with the actor in mind) and is taken through a rehearsal process that resembles a professional production. Our stories are nearly always originally written, based on popular movies, books and games and are ridiculously fun to rehearse. By the end of the year, this group will have performed in two productions - one at Christmas & one in the summer. This class improves confidence, overall happiness, acting ability, and young people's chances of gaining a place at one the country's top universities or drama schools.

TIME 7-8.30PM

LOCATION BELVEDERE ACADEMY, PRINCES PARK

Screen Acting Plus is a small group class (of approx. 12 people) in which participants are taught how to act for TV, film, streaming, radio, podcasts, and digital media. This class gives young performers invaluable techniques to use when acting for the screen but also teaches them the importance of being more than just an actor. Together, we develop screenplay ideas in the writers room, operate cameras, lighting and sound equipment, record voice overs and podcasts, analyse films, and work together as a cast and crew to shoot short movies, scenes, sequences, and more. These days, over 70% of the work available to actors is on screen. Thus, Screen Acting Plus is a real-world experience of the ins and outs of filming independent, low-budget projects whereby participants will gain the knowledge and experience needed to take their skills into the outside world and work on projects important to them. See you on set!

AGE 18+ YRS
LOCATION lARK LANE COMMUNITY CENTRE

Our Adult Courses are inclusive, mega fun acting classes & rehearsals for anyone who wants to give drama a go, regardless of age, ability or background. Fun is at the absolute centre of what we do and we want to share our evenings with those who are up for a great time, willing to try their hand at something new, eager to make friends, committed to producing awesome live productions for audiences and excited to immerse themselves into the wonderful world of acting & drama. Our premise is simple: we pick a random week (usually in Half Terms & school holidays) rehearse each evening from Monday to Friday and then perform our original play to a packed audience on the Saturday. And either side of this we work on acting technique, practice scripts, play drama games, create stories, and laugh lots. So, whether you're looking to boost confidence and have a giggle, or want to start taking your journey to becoming a pro a little more seriously, we are here for you. Everyone is welcome. Many of our participants have gone on to professional work, and have changed their lives for the better, all because they took a chance and said YES.

 

Come and join us, we promise you'll have a blast.
