Acting Lessons in Waterdown

We provide acting lessons for all ages — from children to young adults. During our acting classes, students learn the fundamentals of drama. Below are the acting classes that we currently offer:

Taught by award-winning Canadian film actor and CBY acting teacher Alysa King, students will spend the first half of the year developing their craft as actors. This will comprise of understanding the differences and similarities between screen and theatre acting, building a stylistic awareness of film and tv genres and learning the physical, technical and mental acuity required to bring characters to life across a broad spectrum of styles.  This exploration will culminate in each student recording a short demo reel.

The second half of the year will see the students take a step behind the camera and be introduced to production. Here, they will learn the art of camera angles, camera movements, lighting, editing, script writing and more. Each student will build their confidence as they film their fellow classmates in our exciting new green screen film studio. Scripts, technical terms and concept development will underpin this exciting work. Combined with their on-camera skills, the year will culminate in a group production of a student created short film.
