Attention all drama enthusiasts and aspiring performers!


Discover the thrilling world of theatre in our Acting Academy class that is designed to unleash your creative potential and ignite your passion for storytelling.


Our adventure begins with the exploration of stimulus-inspired theatre, where imagination takes centre stage. Drawing inspiration from diverse stimuli, students will unlock their creativity and bring captivating stories to life. From the words of renowned playwrights to iconic movie scenes, we will immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of dramatic storytelling. Through this process, we will deepen our understanding of character development, dialogue, and the technical aspects of performance.

In the latter part of the unit, students will embark on a remarkable journey of self-discovery and self-expression through the development of a devised performance. By engaging in a devised performance, you will have the opportunity to bring your own unique perspectives and voices to life, creating a captivating and authentic narrative that reflects your individuality.


Unleash your imagination, amplify your voice, and let the stage be your canvas for artistic expression.
