TAFTA’s Mini Movie Makers Acting Classes introduce young creatives aged 5–8 to the exciting world of acting for the screen in a fun, supportive, and imagination-filled environment. These classes are all about play, discovery, and building confidence while learning the foundations of screen performance.

Through storytelling, movement, and on-camera activities, students begin to explore how emotions, voice, and body language bring characters to life. Each week, they’ll take part in engaging group exercises, improvisation games, and guided scene work designed to strengthen focus, listening, and creative expression, all while having fun and learning valuable skills.
