The Performance Class (Calum's Acting Guild)

Many of our part-time acting students had a complaint. They felt like they had finished their STAGE courses and had nothing left to fill that gap. So we've created The Performance Class so you can do more of what you love doing! 

This 12 week course will give you the opportunity to work with a professional director (Calum Moore) on a play or play extract. You will:

• Build on your previous Acting work in the STAGEs

• Boost your confidence as a performer

• Make an ongoing commitment to something you love

• Have a real world experience like a professional actor

To participate, you will either have had to complete Stage 1 & Stage 2 at ACS or have relevant training experience.

After signing up applicants must submit a short monologue of their choosing (any length, any genre, from TV or theatre, or that they have written themselves)

“This was a great place to get coaching in the art of performing. The environment that is created is friendly and approachable. Most importantly, the staff are extremely supportive and great at guidance and direction. I was coached by a brilliant director Calum Moore who saw each actor's styles and tailored his direction accordingly.” Zubair

”Having joined ACS with no prior acting experience I didn’t know what to expect. Sitting here now having completed Stages 1,2,3 and recently Calum’s Acting Guild I can honestly say it’s been the best decision I’ve made. I have been lucky enough to have had Calum as my teacher for most of my acting journey and I couldn’t recommend him enough. Calum takes you out of your comfort zone and allows you to act freely in your performance and gives you that extra boost to be the best you can be and more.” Rosie

”I have been attending classes at ACS for 2 years and have benefited from and enjoyed all of them. Levels 1,2 and 3 with Miranda and most recently Acting Guild with Calum. Anyone interested in theatre and in performance will be delighted with the courses available and with the quality of the directors. I am signing up for 2025 and looking forward to it.” Douglas

”Calum Moore is a fantastic teacher who leads with empathy and gives great feedback throughout. His methods/textual analysis breakdowns are incredibly useful for preparing for a role and would definitely give drama school applicants an edge. I’m really grateful for all I’ve learned at ACS and 100% recommend Calum as a coach!” Elly
