Focused, inspiring acting courses designed for creative young minds.
Unleash Your Passion for Acting
with WRITER, ACTOR & DIRECTOR
Kahli Gaskin
Our acting programme runs as immersive school holiday intensives designed to spark confidence, creativity, and genuine storytelling skills in young performers.
Rather than weekly classes spread over months, we offer focused one-week courses that allow students to dive deep, build momentum, and finish with a strong sense of achievement and growth.
These intensives are ideal for children and teens who love performing, storytelling, film and theatre — or who simply want to build confidence, communication skills and creative expression in a supportive environment.
Led by industry professionals, each course balances technique, play, collaboration and imagination.

How the Intensives Work
Each holiday intensive runs for one full week.
Students attend for three hours per day, across five days, allowing plenty of time to explore performance without becoming overwhelming or exhausting.
Morning Session (10am–1pm): Kids Group Afternoon Session (2pm–5pm): Teens Group
This allows age-appropriate learning environments while keeping the energy focused and fun.
Families may also choose which holiday week suits them best, offering flexibility around travel and school holiday schedules.
Final dates and venue details will be announced ahead of each holiday block.
What Students Will Explore
Each intensive is hands-on, creative and deeply collaborative. Students explore acting fundamentals and performance confidence, character development and imagination, voice, movement and physical storytelling, improvisation and scene work, listening and ensemble skills, and creative risk-taking within a supportive environment. The programme also introduces storytelling for both stage and screen.
The focus is on nurturing authentic expression rather than perfection — helping young performers feel brave, playful and genuinely connected to their work.
