Screen Academy
We believe our Screen Academy is one of the very few groups across the country that focuses solely on screen acting.
The Screen Academy undertakes many projects every year. Actors will work on Showreels, Silent Movies, Trailers, Competition Films and much more. Each year the company works on a Major film shot on location.

The Workshop
The Workshop is a weekly evening group for all ages. Whether it’s acting, devising, voice work, writing, screen or producing that your young actors are interested in – these sessions can be their springboard into the industry. The Workshop is fast moving, exciting and most importantly full of fun.

YACtots
This group is specifically for children aged 5-8 and is an introduction to drama and acting!
There is lots of fun to be had whilst getting their young imagination going and learning to work with other children. This class can really help their confidence through drama games and gentle improvisation that all children, the quiet, the shy and the anxious can get so much out of!
