Each year we host an exciting night of World Premieres, showing the final film projects from all of our Screen Acting and Voiceover classes! These classes film a variety of projects through the season, as they learn the ins and outs of working and acting for the camera and for the microphone for voiceover.
Then in the spring each class creates their own final short film ~ sometimes writing original scripts, sometimes adapting existing scripts and sometimes using scenes from familiar movies and tv shows to create their pieces.
They receive professional CallSheets for their filming/shooting dates and they’re involved in every step of their creative process. We host all the students for their ‘red-carpet-moment’ and the paparazzi go crazy as we get set to watch their world premieres at a theatre on the big screen! A fabulous chance for families to support their budding young movie stars!!! This event happens in early June!
Season Overview & Student Feedback
Our Season runs from mid-Sept to end of May with weekly classes for each program.
The program Levels progress from primary through senior, introducing or enhancing the various components of the discipline and program. Each Level covers a 3 to 4 yr age range. Depending on age, experience, and when they begin with us, a student could be in the same Level for 1 to 3 seasons. Students learn how to function as both leaders and followers, experiencing the range of responsibilities and learning opportunities associated with being in a class with a variety of ages, personalities and types of learners.
As students progress each season and also through the Levels, they build their personal and performer’s toolkit with more in-depth advanced learning through various teaching tools, focused on skill acquisition, technical development, and practical performance application. As the Level increases, the in-studio class-time lengthens and the expectations increase with more or lengthier materials, more ‘mature’ but still age-appropriate content, and more advanced learning tools requiring increasingly more at-home preparation time between classes. The Level 3, 4 and 5 programs may also include more shows/performances/filming opportunities.
Each class and student is provided with a detailed Course Curriculum Outline at the beginning of the season outlining all performance or filming requirements and specific curriculum goals, learning tools and teaching strategies ~ a roadmap of where and how we’ll take the class through the season! We discuss specific goals with each student, at the start, at the mid-way point and at the end of the season so we always know what we’re working towards! And each student receives a personalized Progress Report at the end of each season celebrating their amazing achievements and growth, setting intentions for their continued development, and recommending next steps, all based on the student’s own goals and interests for their training and development.
