Designed for aspiring young performers ready to take the next step, this three-day immersive workshop blends screen acting, filmmaking, improv, and industry insight with creative self-development and career planning. Students will film both a self-tape and two-person scene, explore directing and camera work, learn to package and market themselves professionally, and take part in mock auditions. They’ll also experience what it’s like on a real set by rotating between “cast” and “crew” roles - learning on-set etiquette, call sheets, and key production roles - while building confidence, teamwork, and a clear vision for their acting journey.

Perfect for creative kids aged 8–12, our Junior Screen Acting Holiday Program introduces young performers to the fundamentals of on-camera acting through fun, interactive activities. Over two action-packed days, students will rehearse and film two professional scenes, play improv games and gain behind-the-scenes insight into what it’s really like on a film or TV set. They’ll explore acting techniques like hitting marks, using body language, and vocal expression, all while building teamwork, confidence, and creativity. Each student will walk away with two professionally filmed scenes on USB or SD card, new friends, and a deeper love for storytelling and performance.

Step up. Stand out. Get set for screen.
