School Holiday Program Brisbane
Fun, professional workshops for young actors that build confidence, creativity, and performance skills. Taught by industry experts in a supportive, age-appropriate environment. Perfect for all experience levels.
Scenes On Screen (for Teens & Pre-Teens)
Give your young performer a dynamic, confidence-building on-camera acting experience designed to strengthen technique and produce footage suitable for agents, showreels, or simply to celebrate their growth.
Created by studio founder and Casting Director Peter Rasmussen, this two-day workshop blends skill development with practical screen performance, delivered in a welcoming, supportive environment that helps young actors thrive.
We are pleased to welcome our teacher for this workshop. Ngọc Phan is a multi-award-winning actor, director and playwright, and a graduate of WAAPA. Please see her full bio below.
Day 1 - Technique, Confidence & Camera Skills
Students explore engaging, practical acting exercises that build screen presence, imagination, and emotional truth. Through improvisation, movement, voice and character work, they learn the foundations of believable performance and prepare for their on-camera scene.
Day 2 - Scene Work on Camera
On the second day, students work directly with our industry expert tutors to rehearse and film a short scene. Each student will be guided through professional direction, camera awareness, truthful acting choices and partner work.
Every student receives their filmed scene after the workshop - ideal for agent submissions, showreels, auditions, or personal development.
