Starting Out: For Ages 5 - 8

Jam-packed full of creative play, join our professional teaching artists as they lead you on a journey of discovery, covering the fundamentals of acting, storytelling and stagecraft.

Run across an 8-week term, this theatre and performance training program will help you start out in developing the confidence, stamina and imagination essential for all young actors aged 5 – 8, whilst working towards a performance outcome.

Studio Q Term 4 classes will proceed online via Zoom. Links will be emailed to enrolled students in the first week of term.

As well as that, we are proud to announce that Studio Q’s 2021 Annual Showcase will be moved online: For the first time, the students theatre skills have been adapted over Terms 3 and 4 to the screen, engaging with each other in performances across the mulitple screen interface on Zoom with creations of their own making. Performances will be created, rehearsed and pre-recorded by our talented young artists and access artists over the term, and then streamed for audiences on Saturday 27 November at 7.30pm. More information, including ticket prices and how to purchase and watch the zoom, will be available here in the weeks ahead. We hope you can join us!
