      The Art of Background Acting & The Basics of Setiquette - coming back again soon, stay tuned!

      Always wanted to be in front of the camera but haven't had the chance to train? Here's a great place to get started and get the knowledge you need to be an asset to production on set! We'll go over the basics of believable background acting as well as the essentials of Set Etiquette (known as "Setiquette" in the biz). 


      More opportunities for actors and background actors are coming to the Maritimes and this course will set you up to be successful in submitting for those opportunities and performing while on set if cast in any local productions.

      Casting 101 - coming soon, stay tuned!

      What does casting want? And how can you deliver it? We'll explore the business side of acting as we go through all the steps from preparing your submission materials  for casting calls, through submitting, auditioning and call back prep. 

      Audition Workshops - coming soon, stay tuned!

      A working room of auditions where we will explore all aspects of preparing for an audition. We'll also have tapings on site so you can see your work progress in real time and have the option of building a demo reel throughout our month long session. Bring auditions you are currently working on or we will provide sides from previously cast projects.
