Evening Courses
Screen acting -
PART 1
screen acting - PART 2
Evening classes are 2hrs long and take place once a week at Starston Hall. Our Screen Acting Courses run over eight weeks. Part 1 is our foundation course aimed at actors who are new to the art of screen acting or have recently graduated and would like to develop this specific skill. These classes are designed for people who are not necessarily working professionally as an actor but who have had some previous training or have had some screen acting experience.
Part 2 is the next level in our unique course and offers professional actors the chance to hone their skills or for people who have completed our Part 1 and want to challenge themselves further.
If you are a complete beginner but have always wanted to explore acting, please email us directly via the Contact Us Form below.

Retreats
Screen Acting -
PART 1
Our Retreat Courses offer a blissful escape away. Immersive developmental practice whilst benefiting from being surrounded by nature in a retreat setting.
Screen Acting - Part 1 is an intensive 4 night retreat version of our evening classes. This course covers all of our fundamentals of screen acting, the technical techniques required of actors that directors need, as well as working with breath and body connection.
Our Screen Acting - Part 2 retreat, also 4 nights, is designed for professional actors already working in the industry wanting to explore new challenges. Expect a deep dive into the 'art' of visual storytelling. This is an opportunity to expand on your craft, learn new techniques and hone your skills over an intensive long weekend.
Our Fledgling Filmmaking: For Actors course offers the chance to learn hands on how to make a short film. Over the course of 5 days participants will work together to produce and shoot a short film. If you are an actor who has always wanted to know how to make your own work, this is a great springboard!

Additional Work
Movement &
Yoga
Breath & Body
connection
Reiki
The Retreat is not just a place to train, but a place to connect, create, and rediscover your voice as a storyteller. That is why we offer additional elements and practises including body and breath work that help support an individual's creative exploration.
We believe that an important part of connecting to your creativity involves not only the learning aspects of the Retreat but also the community and support that comes with it. After completing a course we want to make sure that people feel they can receive ongoing mentorship as they continue on their creative paths.
We recognise that being a creative can be a tough, exhausting and at times deflating vocation. But it can also be extremely cathartic and creativity can play an important role in the healing process. That is why as part of some of our longer retreats we also offer Reiki sessions.
