For students excited to learn acting, but unsure if they’re ready yet for the discipline required. This is a developmental class with a unique approach to improv that explores character growth without stress. Includes improv in front of the camera, as well as in a black box stage/studio setting.

Note: if your child is in this age range but is already professionally working, please email admin for alternate coaching arrangements with OAS (Alternating teachers: Anwen, Star, Tyrnan and Ilan).

Similar format to the improv 8 to 10 class, but with more character exploration and growth, and addressing why actors make the choices that they make in the moment. This is a supportive and nurturing environment while developing the bravery and confidence young actors require in order to pursue a professional career. Practical tools for auditioning are also covered. There are specific challenges actors face between the ages of 11 to 13, and we help our students and parents navigate these pitfalls. (Alternating teachers: Anwen, Star, Tyrnan and Ilan).

In this class we combine our particular form of improv with studying two and three hander scenes, both in a black box setting and in front of the camera. Students develop spontaneity as well as an understanding of text/narrative needs. Understanding auditioning, and workshopping for industry professionals is also covered. (Altaire will participate in some of the classes, but alternating main teachers are Anwen, Star, Tyrnan and Ilan).

Similar format to the classes for 12 - 15. More complex themes will be explored in scene work. Taught by Altaire, with assistance by one or more members of the team.

Similar format to classes for 16 - 18. For actors who are intent on working in the industry, but needing more tools, confidence and time. Taught by Altaire, with assistance by one or more members of the team.

For actors who have a strong foundation and/or are working in the industry. Taught by Altaire.
