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 meets on Sundays and is broken into 3 groups:

Juniors (09:30 – 12:00)

Uppers (12:00 – 14:30)

Seniors (14:30 – 17:00) 

The Screen Academy undertakes many projects every year, both in-front and behind the camera. These projects include: Showreels, Silent Movies, Trailers, Competition Films and the Long Project – an opportunity for all actors in the Screen Academy to produce a feature film based on their own ideas and work, shot on location. Each year the Screen Academy Actors are invited to our ‘Red Carpet Event’ where they walk the red carpet surrounded by family and friends to watch the premiere of their film on the big screen. 

Actors in the Screen Academy company also take part in a wide variety of workshops and masterclasses focussed both on pure acting, acting on camera and behind the scenes.

(Fees per 12 week term: £385)
