MTA Stageworks
Acting Classes, Acting & Musical Theatre Classes, Solo Singing Lessons.
At Stageworks we embrace the natural hunger young people have to explore and create by providing the ideal platform for each member to be themselves, and to develop at their own pace. Whether through acting, musical theatre, dance, and productions, we empower young people to unlock their full potential to grow their creativity, confidence, and self-expression, we give them the tools to understand teamwork and encourage them to take risks with their abilities. Stageworks builds confident performers not just for Stage & Screen, but also for life.
Many of our members wish to develop foundation skills towards stage film or singing careers, but equally there are those who love to learn or to perform just for fun, our teachers understand our ethos and so make sure all are members are given the same encouragement to shine.
Acting− Skills develop through role play, script work, improvisation, comedy, acting for camera for TV and film, they build essential skills including communication, physicality, emotional range, character understanding, memorisation, how to take direction, body and voice control, and associated skills including stage fighting, puppetry, mime, mask and many more.
Musical Theatre – Learning the latest and traditional hit songs from the shows our students develop vocal range, vocal performance, enhance vocal stamina and projection, learn complex harmonies, learn to act through song and move seamlessly from dialogue to song. They gain fitness and health benefits, learning exciting new, and traditional, musical theatre dance routines, develop body and voice control, spatial awareness, and an understanding musical timing, rhythms and choreography.
Solo Singing Lessons- One to one with our highly skilled and qualified specialists. Learn Classical, Musical Theatre, Pop, and Rock to develop your voice and confidence to solo performance level. Graded exams are optional.
