YACademy
YACademy is our latest group. It offers all round drama training to prepare young actors for working professionally in the industry. The sessions focus on all aspects of the acting industry including; Stage, Screen, Mime, Devising, Writing, Voice and Production as well as exploring various acting techniques. Young Actors will also learn important skills such as Self-taping, and Audition Techniques.
The YACademy Company is a performance based course where Actors will be given the opportunity to perform in Theatres as well as in Film.
YACademy is very special in the fact that it works with a mix of ages. Allowing younger company members to learn from the older actors and helps the older ones to lose all inhibitions! The company runs Sunday’s 10am-5pm.
