Our expert tutors are committed and passionate about sharing their knowledge and experience with our students as they create workshops that are simply wonderful. This summer our camps include acting and drama, moviemaking, musical theatre, vocal coaching, improvisation, magic and dance!

Each week-long course has a specific focus, set against a background of fun theatre games and exercises, song and movement. Students discover and learn many key components of an actor’s training, meet new friends and develop many valuable life skills to take them well beyond the stage.

Villains Academy (October Holiday)


Young Performers (7-11 yrs old)

9am to 4pm, Monday to Friday

Do you have what it takes to be deliciously wicked? Step into the shoes of Broadway’s most notorious villains and discover the art of playing the bad guy (or gal)! In Villains Academy students will dive deep into the world of theatre’s most dastardly characters to learn what makes them so unforgettable. From cackling laughs to spine-tingling stares, this workshop is all about bringing larger-than-life villains to the stage. Students will explore the craft of creating complex and compelling antagonists through characterisation, physicality, and dialogue. They’ll learn how to embrace the villains’ motives, use their bodies to command the stage, and deliver lines with just the right amount of sinister flair.
