All classes are taught by Richard Lindsell, a professionally trained actor with over 30 years’ experience working in Australian theatre, film and television. Richard has also worked as a screenwriter, director and producer, giving students insight into how screen performances are created from script through to final edit.

Classes are structured by age group to ensure material, exercises and expectations are appropriate for each stage of development. Content and activities are tailored to suit the emotional maturity and experience level of the students.

No. Classes are suitable for beginners as well as students with some prior acting experience. Exercises are structured so students can work at their own level while gradually building confidence and skills.

Students learn practical screen acting skills, including:

• Confidence and ease in front of the camera

• Listening and reacting naturally in scenes

• Understanding scripts and characters

• Basic awareness of camera, framing and screen technique

• Collaboration and professional behaviour in a creative setting

Yes. All scenes, scripts and exercises are carefully selected or adapted to be age-appropriate. Students are never asked to engage with material that is unsuitable for their age group.

Emotional safety is a priority. Students are never asked to draw on personal trauma or uncomfortable personal experiences. The work focuses on imagination, craft and storytelling, within clear boundaries and a respectful environment.

No. The emphasis is on learning, exploration and growth, not competition. Students are encouraged to take creative risks in a supportive atmosphere where mistakes are part of the learning process.

While the skills taught are relevant to professional screen acting, the classes are primarily educational rather than audition-focused. Some students may choose to pursue acting professionally, but the skills developed - confidence, communication, empathy and teamwork - are valuable in many areas of life.

Many students start the classes feeling shy or uncertain. Exercises are designed to gently build confidence over time, with no pressure to “perform” before a student feels ready.

Class sizes are kept manageable with a maximum of 12 students to ensure each student receives attention, guidance and feedback in a supportive group environment.
