Discover Your Inner Performer in Stage 1 – Introduction to Acting
Take your first step into the world of acting with our Stage 1 course. Stage 1: Intro to Acting, creates a supportive and dynamic environment designed for beginners and anyone eager to explore their creative side. Over six fun-filled weeks, you’ll learn the fundamentals of performance through improvisation, text analysis, and essential acting techniques—while building the confidence to bring any character to life.
No matter your background or experience, our Stage 1 acting course is your chance to explore, play, and discover what acting is all about. Think of it as a creative playground: a place to practice voice and movement, experiment with scenes, and learn how to be fully present with your acting partner.
“Stage 1 is often a student’s very first taste of acting—or the first time they’ve come back to it in years. For me, it’s thrilling to see that ‘light bulb’ moment when they realize acting is about being present with your partner. Those early breakthroughs are a joy to watch.”
Calum Moore, Stage 1 Acting Coach

“I love showing people how natural acting already is in their everyday life. With a few simple techniques, you see instant results that build their confidence. One of my favorite success stories is a student named Lee—she started in Stage 1 with zero experience, and within months she was performing in Stage 3 and getting ready for paid roles. It’s amazing how quickly people can blossom.”
Jake Norton, Stage 1 Acting Coach
From Curiosity to Confidence
Many of our Stage 1 students arrive with a certain amount of fear and doubt. But by the end of the six weeks, they’re amazed at their newfound skills, confidence, and connection with their classmates. Some have even launched into our advanced courses, and a few have gone on to audition for paid roles!
“It’s all about exploration. Students in Stage 1 discover the layers behind what professional actors do, from script analysis to developing voice and movement skills. It’s exciting to watch them realize that becoming an actor isn’t just about saying lines; it’s about understanding what makes those lines come to life.”
Callan MacCormick, Stage 1 Acting Coach
