———————————————————————————————–
Classes are suitable for anyone aged 16 and over. Most terms offer opportunities for anyone who is interested in learning and developing their acting, from complete beginners to more experienced performers.
This has yet to be confirmed – but classes will be held on the Wirral – probably in Wallasey, New Brighton, Hoylake or West Kirby. For full details of where the venue is and how to get there click here (the link will open in a new tab or window).
Group classes are likely to be held on Wednesday evenings between 7pm and 9pm during term time. Each term is made up of 12 weeks, usually running roughly in line with the school terms (Jan – April / April – July / September – December).
£105 for a term of 12 classes. This is payable in advance by cash, cheque, credit/debit card, paypal, or BACS.
Do you do any showcases or productions?
We usually present work once or twice a year – towards the end of the year we have an informal presentation to family and friends and there is a public performance once a year. The focus of the classes really is on learning new skills and having a go at things that you might not have experienced before or feel you need more experience of whilst also rehearsing towards a performance. The classes are taught from the angle of what might be expected of professional actors, although professional standards are NOT expected of those taking part and the sessions are open to anyone.
How old are people in the classes?
16 – 116! – although most people are generally between 18 and 65. There is usually a real mix.
Martin Harris runs most classes. He is the artistic director of Rocket Theatre and has run group classes, private lessons, youth theatres and workshops for professional actors for over 20 years. You can find out more about Martin here (the link will open in a new tab or window).
Do I need any experience to join the classes?
Not usually. We cater for complete beginners and those who are keen to exercise their acting muscles. Everyone can learn from each other and what better way of learning than taking part!
