After the success of ‘First Time On Set’, a screen acting masterclass, we are pleased to announce a new workshop just for youth (ages 11-18)!
Join Georgia Kirkland, actress and short-film director for these one-off acting for screen workshops. Whether you’re wanting to pursue a career in the arts, need help nailing your next audition or just want to give screen acting a go, this class is for you! In this friendly and insightful session, you will:
● Be given a chance to perform a scene on camera
● Receive a copy of your scenes
● Be given industry feedback to help build your confidence
● Get to know the group with a few warm up games
All scripts will be sent out prior to the class for you to be familiar with. This is a low pressure class, with the aim being on building confidence within a supportive community. Georgia believes acting is a craft that should be enjoyed and is committed to cultivating a safe and fun culture in class. Classes will be capped at 15 people, to ensure everyone has enough time in front of the camera. Whatever level you may find yourself, you are so welcome in this session.
