CLASSES

All classes take place in a lovely private studio space at: 12652 Beckett Road, South Surrey (near Crescent Beach)

To all our adult students and parents of young students, we offer our professional experience navigating Vancouver's film/tv industry, and commit to helping you understand how to build or expand a professional career as an actor. Whether it is finding representation, creating fantastic self-tape auditions, or preparing for an on-set role, we are here to help you excel on every level. Our highest priority in each class is to create a safe, judgement-free space, for you (or your young one) to take risks, be seen and heard, and fall in love with the magic of this art form.

UP NEXT: A Live Performance Session! In this special session we are going to work on amazing scenes from fantastic plays and then perform them LIVE in a showcase evening. Performances will take place on the evening of Saturday March 8 at White Rock’s studio theatre gem - Peninsula Productions. In this special live performance session, students will get the opportunity to share their work with friends and family in a professional theatre space. We are very happy about this, because it will give you a chance to experience the immense thrill of live performance, and give us a chance to really teach you how to overcome nerves and shine in front of others. There is nothing like live performance - in fact, even when you’re on set you are still surrounded by a huge crew watching you work! And opportunities like this one will increase your confidence every time you have to stand up and perform or speak in front of others

Whether you have a natural performer on your hands and you want to expand their skill and experience, or a more reserved child who could benefit from the self-expression acting inspires, this class is for you. Fun, imaginative games will build their skills as performers. Great age-appropriate scenes will guide them to build characters, learn lines and develop their body and voice as their instrument. Showcases will support their confidence and resilience to take risks, have fun, and share themselves with the world. In class we learn to be ourselves, understand others, and work together to bring a story to life with our bodies, voices and imagination.

In this special live performance session we will work on great scenes from amazing plays, and then perform them in a showcase at White Rock's studio theatre, Peninsula Productions, on the evening of March 8th! If your kid wants to join the class but isn't ready for a showcase, that's OK- they can just come watch!

There may be nothing more empowering for a pre-teen than an acting class.

In class we develop confidence, presence, and comfort with our bodies and voices. Whether or not you are cultivating a professional life as an actor, these classes will enrich every part of you and your future pursuits. Classes will help your child develop the inner resilience to be authentically seen and heard, on stage, on camera, in auditions and in life.
