We run a range of acting classes in Mirfield, West Yorkshire for different ages and abilities. Acting classes range from age 5 to adult and provide high quality education in an informal setting that meets the needs of a diverse range of students. We ensure all our classes are focused on having fun whilst building confidence and transferable skills including teamwork, communication, listening and devising. Many of our students make lifelong friends and grow with us until they reach adulthood.

ACTING FOR STAGE CLASSES

Acting for stage classes embed technical acting skills specific to stage whilst allowing students to explore their imagination and creativity. Students will learn about the world of theatre through improvisation, role play, script work and performance. From time to time we will create opportunities to learn skills for screen acting in this space.

ACTING FOR FILM & TV CLASSES

These classes are focused on acting for screen providing a range of skills needed to stand out in this competitive industry. Students are involved in rehearsing and performing improvised and scripted scenes, naturalistic character depiction, using voice and physicality and taking direction.

ADVANCED ACTING FOR SCREEN CLASS

This Advanced Acting for Screen class is for students who are Spotlight registered and are serious about pursuing a career as a working actor. This class covers audition techniques, script analysis, unlocking character, self-taping, naturalistic acting, industry tips and behind the scenes of life as an agent. Parents are invited to attend on the first Saturday of the month to join in, have a coffee and ask any questions about supporting this career path.

LAMDA CLASSES

LAMDA is accredited by the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Our LAMDA classes range from Entry Level all the way to Grade 8 and there is no upper age limit. LAMDA is a great way to enable students to develop a sense of individuality, strengthen attentiveness and define themselves as a performer. All levels of LAMDA are accredited and are recognisable equivalents to standard qualifications.

Level 1 Exams Grades 1-3 = Lower GCSE

Level 2 Exams Grades 4-5 = High GCSE

Level 3 Exams Grades 6-8 = UCAS Points (depending on grade achieved)

LAMDA classes are more formal and kept small to allow personalised time with each student. Only when students are ready and comfortable they sit LAMDA exams and obtain recognised certificates of achievement. 

ARTS AWARD CLASSES

We offer the Arts Award which is accredited by Trinity College London. This national qualification is much more informal than LAMDA and inspires students to grow their arts and leadership talents. It is designed to be inclusive of all abilities, ages and backgrounds. Students build up a portfolio of work which is submitted for assessment and they will receive a recognised certificate of achievement. Students must be 25 years or under.

Discover = Designed for age 5-7 years

Explore Entry Level for ages 7-11 years

Bronze Level 1 = Lower GCSE

Silver Level 2 = Higher GCSE

Gold Level 3 = Worth 16 UCAS Points

ANNUAL COMMUNITY PRODUCTION

We offer all of our students the opportunity to be part of our annual community pantomime which is shown to local people as well as friends and family. Roles are adapted to be inclusive and allow participation depending on ability. This enables students to put their skills into practice and perform in front of a live audience. Past successes have been A Crazy Covid Christmas, Cinderella and The Wizard of Oz.

We run classes in different localities with a focus on Mirfield acting classes. The first class is FREE as a trial. We offer very competitive rates as well as discounts for siblings.
