With courses in both Acting for Stage and Acting for Screen, ADS Adult classes are an exciting way to take your practical skills, performance experience & talent to the next level!
Light up the stage all year round
ADS GRADS Acting for Stage will see students further develop their skills as well as participate in multiple performance outcomes throughout the year.
Through Showcases, One Act Festivals & Full Length Play Seasons, students will work together to bring both self devised & professional pieces to life for family, friends & the public to enjoy.
Professional experience both in front & behind the camera
ADS GRADS Acting for Screen will see students working on both small & large scale projects throughout the year.
Offering unique insight into the entire Production process, students will work together to create self devised work as well as collaborating on a feature film project culminating in a professional cinema release for family, friends & the public to enjoy.
