Acting for Stage & Screen

Posted on: May 15th, 2025 by Holly Mumford

Do you want to take your acting skills to the next level?

Introducing participants to essential stage and screen techniques, this course builds skills and confidence, honing teamwork, encouraging creativity and building a strong foundation of skills for aspiring performers.

Participants work as a company, with a professional actor/director expertly leading them in drama games, rehearsal exercises and technique based sessions. The skills developed will be put into practice with the creation of a screen duologue and short piece of work for the stage.

Courses are available for different age groups: 11–13, 14–16, and 16+, with tailored enrolment for each.

No previous experience is necessary, just an interest in drama and acting and a willingness to get stuck in!

Those with more experience will be encouraged to develop their skills to a higher level in a supportive and collaborative environment.

Lights! Camera… ACTION!

Are you a budding film star? Or maybe you see yourself behind the camera?

Our fun-packed Create a Short Film course gives participants the experience of working with (in front of and behind) the camera. Our expert teachers are highly skilled professionals who create a week you won’t forget as you learn all about the TV and Film ‘biz’ and get the chance to flex your creative muscles.

This Summer, you’ll be creating a film in the thriller genre!

The week includes:

You will work in small groups to create your short film, fully guided and supported by our teaching staff.

This course is perfect for beginners as no previous experience is necessary. All you need is your imagination and we’ll take care of the rest.

Those with previous acting experience, or skills in filmmaking, will be encouraged to improve and develop their skills, but it’s really about having fun and collaborating with others to create a truly unique and original movie with the group.

Once the course is finished, your original film will be edited and then sent to you to keep.

And the Oscar goes to…
