Elevate your learning in our highly interactive, and engaging, online group classes! At Young Actors HQ, we focus on a tools and techniques based approach, providing our students with the fundamental skills to create grounded and truthful performances. It is NEVER about the lines - but the characters, emotions and intentions that live behind those lines. Our programs combine practical exercises, engaging partner work, script work, emotionality development, improvisation, self-tape practice and more! We take a very tailored approach to our teaching, meeting the actor where they are at! Whether you are a developing or experienced actor, we have a program for you!
Signature Programs!
Our 8-week long programs are a deep dive into skill building! Each week we will focus on specific tools and techniques to stretch our acting instrument! We get on our feet a LOT. Actors will be guided through exercises to bring more confidence to their acting, in a highly engaging and supportive environment. This is not your normal acting class. Throughout the week, students will engage in group exercises, partner scenes and individual work, and walk away with the tools to bring their acting to new heights!
We run 4 terms per year:
- Winter Term: Jan-Mar (8 week program)
- Spring Term: Apr-June (8 week program)
- Summer Term: Jul & Aug (weekly programs)
